"MIME & Mail" provides a pretty large
number of commands. The following is a quick summary.
Important note on commands
In order to be properly executed, all the following commands need
the MMAIL library (or its clone library) be in the job library list.
"Setup" commands are used during the installation phase of MIME & Mail.
However, you may use them also after installation to change some
of the settings.
- CCSID
Some functions of MIME & Mail cannot be properly executed
if the job CCSID is 65535. During these functions, MIME & Mail
needs to temporarily change the job CCSID to a value
different from 65535.
If the system value of the system is 65535, this command allows
to specify what is the value to be assigned for this temporary
CCSID.
- COMPILE
Recompiles and recreates the two service programs and all
the other programs.
- CRTCMDS
Re-creates all commands.
- CRTMMLIB
Allows to generate another library (clone) similar to library MMAIL.
There is no limit to the number of such clones.
Each clone behaves exactly as library MMAIL.
The advantage of having clones, is that each clone may be customized
by programmers to fit installation needs and maintains its
properties independently from any subsequent update to library MMAIL.
For details, see this page.
- CRTMSRVPGM
Re-creates service program MMAIL/SENDMAIL and optionally re-binds all programs in library MMAIL.
- HTTPCFG
MIME & Mail documentation (the pages you are reading now)
are written in HTML. This command adds the related (Original or Apache)
HTTP directives to an HTTP instance of your choice.
- INFOPRINT
This command creates the environment needed by IBM Infoprint Server for iSeries, 5722-IP1
to convert spool files to PDFs through the SENDMAIL service program.
For information about Infoprint Server, see this page.
- QTMHHTP1
This command must be run from a *SECADM user profile.
It provides user profiles QTMHHTTP and QTMHHTP1 with authorities over each other.
It is needed whenever CGI's want to use the spool file conversion provided
by INFOPRINT.
- REBIND
Re-binds MMAIL programs in a given library or through MMAIL library and cloned libraries.
- SETCONFID
E-mail messages with sensitivity "confidential" display
a special warning in their titles.
Use this command to customize this warning.
- SETCGILIB
This command sets the library environment needed by CGI
to run SENDMAIL subprocedures. See this page.
- SETEMDELAY
Specifies the number of seconds (1 to 9) to wait between to consecutive outgoing messages.
- SETMAILLIB
Populates a user development library with the objects needed to create and run MMAIL-based programs:
- duplicates of MMAIL service programs
- duplicates of MMAIL binding directories
- duplicates of MMAIL/QRPGLESRC members used for /COPY:
- HSPECS - H specifications
- HSPECSBND - H specification for binding directories
- PROTOTYPEB - CGIDEV2 procedure prototypes
- MAILPROTO - MMAIL procedure prototypes
- VARIABLES3 - CGI programs common variables
- USEC - Common Structure for API Error Code Parameter
The following is an example of the beginning of an MMAIL-based ILE-RPG program in library mylib:
/copy MYLIB/qrpglesrc,hspecs
/copy MYLIB/qrpglesrc,hspecsbnd
Ffilespec if e disk
/copy MYLIB/qrpglesrc,prototypeb
/copy MYLIB/qrpglesrc,mailproto
/copy MYLIB/qrpglesrc,variables3
/copy MYLIB/qrpglesrc,usec
By using SETMAILLIB command, your new MMAIL-based programs are not linked to MMAIL service programs,
and you have no impact when installing a new MMAIL release. See also
Development libraries in the Introduction.
Should you, by any chance, experience that - after installing a new version of library MMAIL - programs in library mylib
display a "service program signature" error, just run the following:
addlible mmail
mmail/rebind mylib
-
TIMEZFMT
Use this command to select the format of the time zone in the
DATE headers generated for the MIME messages.
The following time zone formats are supported:
| UT | Coordinated Universal Time |
| GMT | Greenwich Meridian time (alias of UT) |
| -/+hhmm | offset from Coordinated Universal Time (see system value QUTCOFFSET) |
| local time zone | as computed from system value QUTCOFFSET |
- WRKADDR
Allows to maintain the "address book" used by the
5250 utility and by command
STREMLSPLF.
- WRKGRP
Allows to maintain the "groups" (distribution lists) used by the
5250 utility and by command
STREMLSPLF.
"MIME file" commands are commands used for creating, managing,
and e-mailing MIME files. In several cases (see for instance all
the EML... commands), the end user does not even need to know what
a MIME file is.
-
CRTMIME.
Creates a MIME file without the "send" (sender, addressees) data.
Command WRKMIME allows to work
with these files.
These MIME files can then be e-mailed with command
SNDMIME.
It is part of the
5250 utility.
- CUSTMAIL
Runs a sample case where customized letters are e-mailed.
It is part of the
5250 utility.
- EMLMSG
E-mails a simple message.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
- EMLSAVF
E-mails a save file.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
- EMLSPL
E-mails a spool file. Optionally, the spool file can be
converted to a PDF.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
- EMLSPLX
Similar to EMLSPL, but also allows to select the desired PDF conversion utility.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
- EMLSRCM
E-mails a source member.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
- EMLSTMF
E-mails a stream file.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
- EMLHTML
E-mails an HTML stream file.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
- ENDEMLSPLF
Ends the automated e-mailing of spool files
started with command STREMLSPLF.

It is part of the
Other utilities.
-
SENDMIME.

- IFS stream files
- Database files

- Spool files
- Spool files converted to PDF
Up to 100 different pieces (objects) can be sent for each type of
object.
The MIME message can be sent up to 100 receivers.
It is part of the
Other utilities.
-
SNDMIME.
E-mails a MIME file created with command
CRTMIME.
It is part of the
5250 utility.
-
STREMLSPLF.
Starts the automated e-mailing of spool files.
User-specified spool files from one or several output queues
- as soon as they become ready - are e-mailed

spool file names. Spool files can optionally be converted
to PDF's. Execution is submitted to batch.
A log of the spool files sent is maintained on file
qgpl/spllog
It is part of the
