RE: http_url_post_xml problem

I am only aware of two ways that we have setup for sending email from an
RPG program, through the web service that I mentioned and an older RPG
program that has an even more restricted message body length of 256
characters. Any suggestions to web sites with more options or better
ways to do this?

When I increase the size of the message fields rc returns 500 in the
program.

What do you know...I was just doing some testing and increased
EmailRequest and postData sizes and sent a message successfully that was
4000 characters.
I am sure I tried that before without any success. I will keep working
at it.

Any other thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Why on earth would you use a webservice for sending e-mail?  Aren't you 
allowed to send mail directly?

HTTPAPI supports POST data up to 2.1gb.  (Yes, that's gigabytes)  The 
largest size variable you can declare in RPG is 65535 chars.

Hard to say, you really haven't provided any information except that you

can't exceed 850 characters.  The only code you provided was a bunch of 
variable definitions, that really didn't tell me anything.

You said you were receiving an error when the data exceeded 850 
characters. It might help to post that error message.

Or, at least tell me how to reproduce the problem.
