Has anyone accomplished creating a program that will generate an email with an attachement using GMAIL from a cobol progarm? If so, are you willing to share your code. I presently have a program that uses windows email. We pass the email address and attachment path and the program creates an email with the attachment and calls microsoft email and sends the message. We want to do the same with GMAIL.
Sending email from cobol program using GMAIL instead of Windows email.

We want to do the same with GMAIL.The COBOL code equivalent of their example is:
$set ilusing"System.Web.Mail"
$set ilusing"GmailHelper"
program-id. Program1 as "ConsoleApplication1.Program1".

working-storage section.
*>Use the GmailMessage object to create and send your message
01 gmailMsg type RC.Gmail.GmailMessage.
01 attachment type MailAttachment.
01 mailMessageObject type MailMessage.
procedure division.
*> Send a message with one line of code
invoke type RC.Gmail.GmailMessage::SendFromGmail("username", "password", "toAddress@gmail.com", "subject", "message body")
*> Send a message with one line of code with a MailMessage object
invoke type RC.Gmail.GmailMessage::SendMailMessageFromGmail("username", "password", mailMessageObject)
set gmailMsg to new type RC.Gmail.GmailMessage("username", "password")
set gmailMsg::To to "RCcode@gmail.com"
set gmailMsg::From to "fromAddress@gmail.com"
set gmailMsg::Subject to "C# Test Message"
set gmailMsg::Body to "Test body"
set attachment to new type System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment("c:\\testfile.txt")
invoke gmailMsg::Attachments::Add(attachment)
invoke gmailMsg::Send()
goback.
end program Program1.

display exception-object::Message
end-try
goback.
end program SendMailCobol.Make sure you have a gmail account established if going thru the gmail smtp server. If using another smtp server, then you would need to change the host, port, and EnableSSL properties accordingly. If you need to add more than one attachment then call the Add method for each attachment.

Try to do the translation, if you get stuck, post your work here and we can see if we can work this out together.
