IBM Mainframe Forum

Hi frnds,

I have written a jcl to send email....... I tested it and its working fine

What if i want to send a attachment to the Email being send via jcl..... Is it possible
Please help me on this

Regards,
Kaptan

What kind of attachment? Plain text? A file containing binary data? Something else?

I want to attach a word document.....
(Also what if I want to attach something else. Is there different syntax for each type of attachment)

Since the mainframe does not do Word in any form, exactly how do you think you are going to attach the Word document on the mainframe?

A simple text attachment can be done by SMTP code of followed by the desired data to be the attachment. Content-Type must match the actual data or there can be side effects -- binary data,for example, will not successfully be transmitted as text/plain.

If you want to find out the different attachment types, Google is your friend. Googling content-type came back with 413,000,000 hits and some of them on the first page explain the whole MIME email concept quite well.
