Does e-mail distribution from the iSeries 400 frustrate you? Search400.com member Vijayakumar Kannan shows you how to stop e-mail sent from the iSeries from arriving at the destination as different packets. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci803413,00.html 2. Send e-mail message from CLP When Search400.com member Jim Evans needs to notify key personnel when certain events (or error conditions) take place, he uses this simple tip to let them know. And if you're interested, he's also created a command, SNDEMAIL, which uses a message file and reference file to build the list of users and send messages so you do not need to hardcode user IDs and messages in my CL programs. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci783231,00.html 3. Send spreadsheets from the iSeries via e-mail Yes, it is possible to send a spreadsheet from the iSeries via e- mail as an attachment. Mike Tillison's example uses a Qry/400 output file, but it could just as easily be done with a program output file, or Opnqryf output. There are a few simple rules to follow. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci512113,00.html 4. AFPDS print file to an attachable e-mail file Search400.com member Jeff Leites wondered if there is any software available that would take an iSeries-created AFPDS print file and convert it to some sort of attachable e-mail file, such as an Adobe Acrobat file. He turned to the Search400.com Programmer Discussion Forum some advice. Quite a few people responded, read what they had to say. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee84636/2125 _____________________________________________________________ ****************** Previous Webcasts Archives ******************** Take a look at these informative transcripts from previous Webcasts: FTP Fundamental, Security, and Source Control Management tools. http://search400.techtarget.com/onlineEvents/0,289675,sid3,00.html ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ::::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ARE YOU EARNING ENOUGH? | Search400.com salary survey Take Search400.com's interactive salary survey and see where you stand.
