To All:
I have been experimenting with the e-mail capability of Rbase 7.6
but have run into a few problems. The biggest is whether one can
pass a variable to the |EMAIL_TO_LIST parameter (to pass an e-mail
address from the database). I placed a dotted variable in place of a
hardcoded name, defining the variable earlier that is captured when I
SHO VAR, but the e-mail process fails. A hardcoded email address in
|EMAIL_TO_LIST does allow the e-mail process to be
successful. However, in the received e-mail, curiously, there are
two attachments, rather than one as listed |EMAIL_ATTACHMENTS
C:\export\.vresponce.pdf. Also curious is that the .pdf extension
shown in the email is lower case in one and upper case in the
other. I also have a variable (rdate1) in the message section that
is passed through successfully, but in the received e-mail, it has
single quotes around the printed variable. I suppose this may be
related to the set quotes command.
So how do I pass a variable to the |EMAIL_TO_LIST and why two
attachments rather than one.
R:Thanks
Steve
