Re: RPG to domino or exchange

[Mike Eovino <meovino@xxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

At one time, Domino had C APIs that I believe you could call from RPG
with some work (and at least one company sold CL wrappers for them).
I haven't looked into this in years (back in the 4.6 days), so I don't
know if the C APIs are still supported.

I think they still support their Java APIs, which you could call from
RPG with some work.  I've called other Java programs (like the
JavaMail API) from RPG.  Takes some doing, but it can be done.  I
believe Scott K. has written extensively about this (using POI, JDBC
and other things).

Good luck!

Mike E.
