XMITIP: variables in "SUBJECT", in "MSGT" or in "MSGDS" ?

*** Glory halleluiah to Lionel's XMITIP ! ***

Hi Lionel and/or XMITIP lovers,

We would like to use XMITIP to generate transactional (!) e-mails
by CALL-ing XMITIP.

For example, when we get a SWIFT msg we would like to generate an e-mail
according to the msg type received .
As long as we use fixed text in the 'subject' and in the 'msg body',
there's no problem.

But the messages have to contain variable information of course, which is
different msg by msg.
So we would like to know if there's a mean to include (and have resolved)
variables in "SUBJECT", in "MSGT" or in "MSGDS" ?

A possible solution could be to prepare the msg in a sequential file & to
pass that dataset via keyword 'MSGDS'.

In general, can you raise ideas about building up XMITIP messages in a
dynamic way?

Glory indeed!!!

One thing you could try is a subroutine XMITMAIL I wrote a while back. It
is only really usable for plain text e-mails, but it's very fast

If you want to use the full facilities of XMITIP, you can do
what we have done in a few jobs

0) Have an ordinary batch COBOL program
1) Add the XMITIP load library to the STEPLIB
2) Add a SYSPROC DD with the the XMITIP exec library in it
3) Use the IJKTSOEV interface to set up a TSO environment dynamically
and TSOLNK to issue the XMITIP command

You can send attachments if you put them in other DDNAMES and use the FILE
keyword on XMITIP.

There are a number of supported variables for the XMITIP Subject and
Message options
but if you need more flexibility you can:

1. call your own rexx routine to setup the subject and message
2. then call xmitip

that is the best I can fhink of

good luck
