I need to send an email with an HTML file attached from the mainframe via SMTP. Even with adding a DCP (LRECL) parameter, the spreadsheet is truncated to the 1st 1024 characters. How do I fix?

…the spreadsheet is truncated to the 1st 1024 characters.

That’s not surprising. It closely matches limits on some SMTP standards. See for example, Firewall policies and SMTP line lengths, and then see Quoted-printable.

How do I fix?

That probably depends on how you are encoding the attachment. See The Content-Transfer-Encoding Header Field for some technical detail.

What are you using for encoding?

Tom,
Thanks for your response. I wil keep the links for future reference. Unfortunately, this became an emergency yesterday. Ended up changing it to FTP.
