Re: Using SNDDST to email physical files

Marvin - you are assuming that everyone who e-mails anything is always
going to an ACII destination. Not true.

I want to keep it simple.  Starting with a flat file on the AS/400 (in
other words a file with only one field), I want to be able to email it out.
SNDDST seems to be limited as to what and how it can email these things
out. Will it convert a file from EBCDIC to ASCII automatically? If not, why
not since email is an ASCII world function?

Did you convert it to ASCII?

Could be that you've got an EBCDIC/ASCII conversion problem. If the flat
file is EBCDIC and email program is assuming it's ASCII, then this would
cause the email client to display garbage.

  I am trying to email a flat file from the AS/400. When it successfully
emails the file, it contains garbage.  I can't seem to get it right.  Does
anyone have any utilities or service programs that can assist in this?
