Answer Wiki:
If you have the native AS/400 email server up and working, you can use the SNDDST command like below. You could read your file using RPG or a CL and then issue this command in a CL program substituiting a variable in the LONGMSG parameter. SNDDST TYPE(*LMSG) + TOINTNET(('user@domain.com')) + DSTD('Subject') + LONGMSG('long message could go here using a variable name')

Salutations!

AS400 email function is new to me and very much would like to use it.

I tried it using the following code from a test CLP, but received the an error message CPF9D03
“An Internet Address was specified in the TOINTNET parameter but there is no route SMTP gateway.”
What does this mean and how do I correct it? I know our AS400 sends emails using Sequel product.

SNDDST TYPE(*LMSG) TOINTNET((*NONE) +
(‘ALEX.BERNARDO@DHL.COM’ *PRI)) +
DSTD(‘SUBJECT LINE TEXT’) LONGMSG(‘LONG +
MESSAGE COULD GO HERE USING A VARIABLE NAME’)

Regards,
Alex Bernardo

Use the CHGSMTPA command to set up the IP address or name of the mail server you want to use.
