SENDING LARGE SPOOL FILES THROUGH SNDDST

[Guest.Visitor]

Cheryl, Our AS/400s regularly send spool and data files to internet email using SNDDST. I have never heard of any 150 page limit. More likely you are hitting the 2 Mb limit. Whenever an email attachment exceeds 2 Mb, the email is split into smaller segments with the expectation that they will be reassembled at the receiver end. It is unfortunate that some of the popular email servers (such as Ms Exchange and Outlook) do not support this function, and instead, present each segment as separate, unreadable garbage mail. You can disable this email-splitting feature by entering the following command: CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QTMSNOSPLT) TYPE(*CHAR) This feature is documented at IBM's Knowledge Base. http://www.as400service.ibm.com/supp...ument/10000051

I'm creating a process for our internal users to send AS/400 reports via email. I'm copying the spool file to a database file, then copying the database file to a pc file using CPYTOPCD. Next I use the SNDDST command to send the PC file to an internet mailing address. The process works great as long as the spool file isn't more than 150 pages. Anything larger and the email attachment is in MIME format. Our email does not support MIME. How can I work around this? TIA, Cheryl Collins

Sorry. The URL I sent earlier does not go deep enough. This should do it: http://www.as400service.ibm.com/s_di...2565c2007cda23
