Correct.
But you can be sure that Net.data it's still viable as long as IBM continue to use it to deploy their web GUI for the Digital Certificate Manager.
I also use REXX since it has some neat features. People say that's not for today either and that IBM may shelve it.
If IBM have a feature that they have done all the donkey work to make it a one liner then why not use it.
If the feature is eventually removed then your initial investment is trivial and there is likely to be an alternative that can be considered.
There are a plethora of developers out there ready to send you down a path that may have to be replaced anyway and that cost must also be considered.
I remember having to write my own xml parser until Barbara finally gave us built-ins.

It is still supported and delivered but only on IBM i, all the other platforms have dropped it. It is not being updated nor enhanced and will eventually be removed from the system. It is not a preferred solution for anything new. It's there because IBM made the promise they would not intentionally break applications.
All that said, it is really a cool product, just not in today's marketplace.

I thought Net.Data wasn't supported anymore? If it is infact not supported anymore I would suggest doing one of the other alternatives. The RPGMail alternative seems to be much more versitile.

Oh dear, I forgot to mention 2 setup steps -
I just wanted to report back that your instructions worked great; I filled in minor gaps. Mail relay through our external ISP worked fine.
CL Program:
PGM
CD DIR('/qsys.lib/qsyscgi.lib/')
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(PATH_INFO) +
VALUE('/qsys.lib/qsyscgi.lib/qclsrc.file/ma+
cro.mbr/send') MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000)
CALL PGM(QSYSCGI/DB2WWW)
DSPPFM FILE(QTEMP/STDOUT)
ENDPGM
Net.Data Macro:
%define HTML = {<html><body><table>
<tr><td>Hi there Nathan</td></tr>
<tr><td>This is an HTML formatted email sent from DB2WWW</td></tr>
</table></body></html>
%}
%html(send) {
@dtw_assign(sndaddr,"nandelin@xxxxxxx")
@dtw_assign(rcvaddr,"nandelin@xxxxxxx")
@dtw_assign(subject,"test") @dtw_sendmail( sndaddr, rcvaddr, HTML,
subject,"","","","","","","html")
