The sources of the coding examples are available in the following source files:

• MMAIL/SAMPLEDDS
• MMAIL/SAMPLECL
• MMAIL/SAMPLECMD
• MMAIL/SAMPLERPG

If you need to replicate a sample in some library of yours, in order to customize it to your needs, you should not only copy and compile the related sources, but you should also populate your library with the MMAIL objects (service programs, etc.) needed for execution. This can be done through command SETCGILIB.

The following coding examples are available

1. Sending a message to a distribution list
2. Dynamic EML... command in a CL program
3. Dynamic EMLSTMF command in a CL program
4. Retrieving info about the last e-mail message sent

1.   Sending a message to a distribution list
   This example allows to send to a given distribution list, documented in file DSTRLISTS, a text written on an IFS stream file, and optionally another stream file as attachment.
   The sender's data (name and e-mail) must be documented in file SENDERIDS.
   The program can sends a separate personal message to each addressee in the distribution list, or a single message to all the people in the distribution list, depending on parameter DSTTYPE in command MMAIL/EMLDST.
   • The distribution lists are maintained in physical file MMAILDATA/DSTRLISTS,
     see MMAIL/SAMPLEDDS member DSTRLISTS
   • The sender must be documented in physical file MMAILDATA/SENDERIDS,
     see MMAIL/SAMPLEDDS member SENDERIDS
   • The ILE-RPG program is MMAIL/EMLDST, and is made of the following modules:
     • module EMLDST (the driver),
       see MMAIL/SAMPLERPG member EMLDST
     • module EMLDSTA (used when DSTTYPE(A) specified in command MMAIL/EMLDST),
       see MMAIL/SAMPLERPG member EMLDSTA
     • module EMLDSTB (used when DSTTYPE(B) specified in command MMAIL/EMLDST),
       see MMAIL/SAMPLERPG member EMLDSTB
   • To execute the program, use command MMAIL/EMLDST,
     see MMAIL/SAMPLECMD member EMLDST
   • The help of the command is in panel group MMAIL/EMLDST,
     see MMAIL/SAMPLEPNL member EMLDST.

   
   
2.   Dynamic EML... command in a CL program
   Many people are asking how to build and execute a MMAIL/EML... command in a CL program.
   See this example.
   
   
3.   Dynamic EMLSTMF command in a CL program
   In another case, a developer was asking how to build and execute an EMLSTMF command in a CL program.
   See this example.
   
   
4.   Retrieving info about the last e-mail message sent
   Every time a mail message is sent from a MMAIL/EML... command using the QtmmSendMail system API, the following job environment variables are made available:

   Environment variable	value	length	example
   LAST_MAIL_FILE	E-mail message IFS file	512	/MMAIL/temp/Q59318.txt
   LAST_MAIL_SENDER	Sender e-mail address	256	jbsmith@gbtoys.net
   LAST_MAIL_RECIPIENTS	Semicolon separated list of recipients e-mail addresses	65535	CMWeber@gmail.com;admin@gbtoys.net;
   LAST_MAIL_SUBJECT	Message subject	512	Your last order to GBTOYS
   LAST_MAIL_TIME	Date and time when message was sent	31	Wed, 21 Jul 2021 14:32:40 +0000

   See an RPG example of retrieving those environment variables.
