  • 1.  zSecure CARLA: E-Mail Attachment as .csv

    Posted 03/20/20 02:40 PM

    Greetings -- I'm trying to determine how to change the file extension which is sent using SMTP over CARLa. I've determined so far the name of the attachment is acquired from the "name=" parameter on the newlist as such:

    option smtpclass=X smtpwriter=CSSMTP smtpatsign=@,
     outputformat=attach,
       mt=`myemail@address.com`,
       from=`&jobname at &system`,
       mfs=4
    
    newlist type=RACF   name=filename       retain header=CSVT​


    However, I have been unable to find a way to change the file extension outside of specifying the "FILEFORMAT" parameter, which only allows for TXT and XML. Using the above, I receive "filename.txt" and would in this case like "filename.csv" as the attachment name. Can that be changed or specified somehow?

    Hi Adam,

    The mail extension is currently "xml" for XML, and "txt" otherwise. If you want the ability to specify it, you should consider an RFE.

    Thanks for the response, thought that was the case and will open a related RFE. I've been writing the CSV data to a DD card then e-mailing it out through another mechanism to get around this.
