Re: Writing SQR Interface - needs to email a file



There are a number of simple command line programs that can send mail via
SMTP that you can call from SQR. Here are some links to a few that I have
used.

Command Mail - http://www.xwebware.com/products/commail/
GBMail - http://gboban.hypermart.net
BLAT - http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/blat.html

I currently wrap the SQR and email calls into a Windows batch file like
below. You could just make the call from the SQR using call system using.

  S:\SQRW\SQRW.EXE D:\DAILYSQR\SCINTLOG.SQR INTLOG/ABCXYZ@DBHR -XCB
@SCINTLOG.DAT
  commail -to=jfetzik@sandc.com -config=D:\DAILYSQR\SCINTLOG.INI

SCINTLOG.DAT and SCINTLOG.INI are used to keep the command lines short
enough to work in Windows.

SCINTLOG.DAT has the usual -o -f -E -m SQR command line options.

SCINTLOG.INI tells Command Mail things like the mail server name, subject,
the message text(which is D:\DAILYSQR\SCINTLOG.LIS), etc.

If you have any more questions just post them to the list.
