Send Email from Natural / Natural Language

[newjb]

Anyone have example code to send an email from a Natural program?

What is the status of the Natural programming language? Is it a dying language?

Thank you

Natural has no native e-mail support, but you can still do this. How it is done depends on the hardware platform (mainframe or Linux/Unix/Windows), operating system, and mode (batch or on-line) in which Natural runs.

. Use NATRJE to spawn a batch job which sends the message - mainframe.
. I have not worked with Entire System Server, but have been told that it supports e-mail - mainframe.
. Set-up a (batch) RPC server to send the mail, and call it from any Natural module - all.
. Use SHCMD - L/U/W.
. Make calls to MS Office - Windows.

As far as status, Natural is here to stay. Software AG continues to support and enhance it. It would be nice to see growth in the number of sites, though.
