Description
The SENDMAIL() function is used for sending mail. If successful the SENDMAIL() will return .T. or .F. otherwise. The MAILERROR() function can be used to return the error message if the SENDMAIL() fails.
| Parameters | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| <expC1> | No | Your node | The from name of the sender |
| <expC2> | Yes | None | A semi-colon separated list of recipient names to receive the message |
| <expC3> | Yes | None | A semi-colon separated list of cc recipient names to receive the message |
| <expC4> | No | None | The subject of the message |
| <expC5> | Yes | None | The message to be sent. This can be a character string, a variable containing a character string or a character string containing the name of a text file. |
| <expC6> | No | None | A comma separated list of names of files to be sent as attachments |
| <expL1> | No | None | Open VMS only. If <expL1> is .T. (true), any attachments will be sent as ASCII, not binary. If <expL1> is .F. or omitted, all attachments will be sent as binary 64 bit encoded. |
| <expC7> | No | text/plain | Content type |
