Anyone ever put code in a Unix Cobol app to send an email notification to Outlook or Groupwise?

It seems like in a previous life I did this in a custom Lawson app, but now I can't find my notes on it.

Any ideas?

See https://www.danalytics.co.../archive/2004-12.htm
In the article on post-processing, there is a script for using sendmail via Unix.
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

I have created lots of scripts that send email and attachments, ftps and
other scripts for moving, archiving or renaming files. These scripts can be called by 4GL(cobol) or BCI.

quick follow-up question:

if i'm wanting to call a script, which is named:

audit_email.ksh

do I populate ws-command with:

STRING "./$SCRPDIR/adminS/audit_email.ksh"
DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO WS-COMMAND.

wasn't sure if I needed to pass the ./

thanks!

You really don't have to use the path. Move your script to
$CCSDIR/bin and make sure to give full access(777) to the script.

STRING "audit_email.ksh" DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO WS-COMMAND.
