Send Email
Use this command to send an email from Longview Application Framework.
Note: You must set up the email environment before you can use the Send Email command. For more information, see Set Email.
Syntax:
SEND EMAIL "Subject" Document
where:
- Subject is the subject to display in the email.
- Document is the email content file. The file can be in memory or on disk. To send an email as HTML, the file suffix must be htm or html. If you’re using Application Framework to generate the contents of an HTML file, you may need to use HTML character entities for special characters, including double quotation marks ( " ) and the appropriate tags for formatting elements such as carriage returns ( <br> ).
Syntax example:
SEND EMAIL "Hello World" c:\Users\Lview\Documents\Sample_content_file
SEND EMAIL "Notice to Employees" c:\DJO\Documents\Notices\Employee_notice.html
