Hi,
I am trying to send a file via mailx. I do not have any experience with it so I copied the solution from tht forum. Unfortunately it doesn't work :confused:
So here is my code:

email.addr = "abs@d.com"
string sh.cmd(200)


sh.cmd = "mailx "
&"-s "
&strip$("test")
&" -r "
&strip$(email.addr)
&" "
&strip$("sender")
&" < "
&strip$(tmp.log)

rc = shell(sh.cmd, SHELL_CONFIRM)

I set on SHELL_CONFIRM to see the error message which is:
"The terminal emulator only supports ISO-8859/1"

:confused::confused::confused:

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Hi,

Found a similar Thread (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=5655).

May be it was solved by NPRao. You can try it.

Also,

email.addr = "abs@d.com"
string sh.cmd(200)


sh.cmd = "mailx "
& "-s "
& trim$("test")
& " -r "
& trim$(email.addr)
& " "
& trim$("sender")
& " < "
& trim$(tmp.log)

sh.cmd = trim$(sh.cmd)

rc = shell(sh.cmd, SHELL_CONFIRM)

I don't use Oracle so no idea about mailx. Just thought if I could help something with code. You can give it a try though.

thanks I know this thread actually it doesn't help me. I do not understand what NPRao means by "You can set the TERM value in your environment/configuration files -" ???

Hmm, if he gives a visit here, he ll definitely let you know. Btw, what are you trying to do with this :-
< tmp.log

Is it taking some parameter from this log file? I have never used it but just curious to know.

Well, I want to send the tmp.log, so I thought thats how to do it?
Anyway, I tried to run without this part, same error....

I guess you are missing something in this command, I am not a *nix user, so can't really help. You can use this link (http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?mailx) which might help you to build the command properly.

Else, just wait for someone to take you on the right way.

Anyway, here are some links that may help:-

Also, you can try run.prog() instead of shell() because its deprecated in LN.

Thanks for you help. I am stuck on this problem - has somebody an idea?

Umm, can you create a batch file with the required commands and just use run.prog() function to execute it through your script?

Resolved now. I "just" had an error in my command, :-( , the subject matter was missing. As I corrected this it worked, althoug still the message "The terminal emulator only supports ISO-8859/1" is shown....

Stegro,

If you are on LN version, I suggest you to use the CMF functionality (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_emessage_connector_overview) with SMTP.

I found old code which used mailx, here is the snippet -

string comd(12), emailid(80), subject(50), args(256), file.path(128)

comd = "/bin/mailx"
args = " -s " & quoted.string(trim$(subject)) & " "& email.addr
e= run.prog(comd, args, RP_WAIT, trim$(file.path))


Resolved now. I "just" had an error in my command, :-( , the subject matter was missing. As I corrected this it worked, althoug still the message "The terminal emulator only supports ISO-8859/1" is shown....
As mentioned, the shell() because its deprecated in LN.
Check if your local info is ISO-8859-1, in the session User Data Template (ttams1110m000).
