Are you saying that you have been executing such a module? That is, something like  
C`ALLNAT "SENDMAIL" ...`  
Was this on the mainframe or Natural for Windows, because I can’t find this module on either platform.

Perhaps you meant  
`CALL "SENDMAIL" ...`  
But I wasn’t aware that Software AG provided such an executable.

I would have expected the need for something like  
`CALL "SHCMD" "SENDMAIL" "ASYNCH" "NOSCREENIO"`

Hi,

there is no subprogram, so we build our own.

1. Create Bodyfile, if necessary.
2. We build a temp-File with the commands:  
`mail -r <sender> -s <subject> [-a <attachment>] dest-Email [< Bodyfile>] >/dev/null`
3. Run the command:  
`COMPRESS '/bin/bash' COMMANDFILE INTO OS-COMMAND`  
`CALLNAT 'USR1052N' USR1052L`
4. Error handling
5. Delete Command- and Bodyfile

Hope you can build it your on.

Best regards  
Markus
