This example simplifies a previous gist. ACS is now being shipped on your IBM i via PTFs. Subsequent PTFs will ship when major enhancements are made to ACS.

Use ACS on your IBM i to build spreadsheets.sql

--
-- Now that ACS is shipped on the IBM i via PTFs, we no longer need to manually move the
-- acsbundle.jar onto the IBM i.  Just apply the latest ACS PTFs and reference the jar
-- at: /QIBM/proddata/Access/ACS/Base/acsbundle.jar
--
-- Initial PTFs of ACS
-- V7R4M0 SI71900
-- V7R3M0 SI71934

-- Setup:
-- 1) create and populate the spreadsheet generator table
-- 2) change the procedure source code:
--   2b) Change forstie@us.ibm.com to your email address. <==== Please don't email me your spreadsheets :)
--   2c) Change /system=COMMON1 to use the name of your IBM i
--   2d) Change the ADDUSRSMTP user profile to be your user profile

-- 1 time setup:
-- =============
-- a) Locate ACS (acsbundle.jar) in the IFS at /home/acs/acsbundle.jar
-- b) Update the code below to use the name of your system
--    change COMMON1 to your system name
--    If you're on IBM i 7.3 or higher, with a current Db2 PTF group, just query QSYS2.SYSTEM_STATUS_INFO.

Scott,
In this example, you initiate JAVA with the property of "com.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal=true". What does this do and is there documentation for his? Its not added in the next version of the emailing examples.

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,
CLDOWNLOAD is part of ACS.
The doc I've seen is found here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-access-acs-getting-started
I suggest opening a support ticket if you still have questions.
