Re: Changing processing program of IBM commands

Brad,
We had a function to determine what the email was for a person. We just
call that from FIXSNDDST. I can see how that would be problematic. So,
you could just determine what SNDDST does by default and adapt from that.
Been a long time. WRKDIRE comes to mind. Might want to check on a system
where they are still using SNDDST.
We did not try to retrieve it from where SNDDST had it.
Or, just default it to postmaster

My doubt was having customers add exit points. A lot of customers I deal
with today can't even get a job log to me without a webex chat, but then it
was suggested to just offer commands to add/remove the exit points. Simple
commands, nothing more.

But I am still trying to find out which commands people are using. And,
SNDDST doesn't have a "From" email address in it which is sort of
required. I have a lookup by user ID to the IBM mail setup... so that may
have to do.

When did I say that? MSF? I won't touch that with a 10 foot pole.
haha.. I wrote MAILTOOL over 20 years ago to avoid IBM's SMTP all
together. :)

For those that chose to use SNDDST I am seeing if I can help them with

a

solution that works and has been available for 10 years now. I already
have solutions for those that rolled their own and call QtmmSendMail.

related to SNDDST, MSF and OAuth I'm sure folks would be quite
appreciative.

I'm not trying to copyright SNDDST.. ew. I'd rather not even be

related

to that command at all... lol. Just have a lot of customers and

potential

customers looking for a quick option and not have to touch any code.

I don't think you want that copright Brad ?

Once in the 80's I put my own SIGNOFF command in the list that

would

force capture user joblogs to a database when they logged off.

Them were the days.

You?re worried they have a copyright or trademark on SNDDST?

Putting your own sign off command in front of qsys (and others) has
always been the way I thought.

I think Rob B. mentioned a few times that his email command

processors

go somewhere else.

Yes, that's what I mentioned. I just wonder if IBM would be

upset,

or potentially cause legal issues with them. I don't want to

so

far that doesn't seem like something either wants to do.

I asked AI and it said no, but it may void warranties for the

command(s)..

hehe.
