Please use next time code tags for your code and data

we are assigning the unix code to variable , using peoplesoft function we are calling unix code to send email from our SQR process.

Code:

Let $Email_Command = 'uuencode ' || $filename || ' ' || $filename || ' | sendmail -F''' ||$subject || ''' ' ||$mailid1 || ''' ' ||$mailid2

 CALL SYSTEM USING $Email_Command #return_code WAIT

above code is only giving the from and attachment , but its not allowing us to insert the subject and to details in mail.

Please send us sample code for CODE TAGS.

What unix Operating System and version you have?
Afaik there is no command line option for "subject" in "sendmail". The "-F" parameter sets the full name of the sender.
Do you have an example which works directly from the unix command line?

You may find it much easier to use mailx (or mail if this is a version of Linux with no mailx).

we are not sure of the UNIX version which we are using.

we have already tried mailx.

Code:

 let $exec_email = 'mailx -s "' || $subject || '" ' || ' -r' || -
                           ! ' "' || $reply_email || '"' || ' "' || $to_email || -
                           ! '"' || ' < ' || $filename

call system using $exec_email #ret_cd wait

using this code we not able to send the attachments . Please help in modifying the above code.

The syntax for mailx with a attachment should be pretty much the same as your sendmail line in post #1 but with "sendmail -F" replaced with "mailx -s".
Unfortunately there is much variation in "mailx" command, so try from the command line first and check your local man mailx .


Your unix type and version can be displayed with:

Code:

uname -a
