1054.0. "Send ALL-IN-1 Mail to a file?" by SWETSC::SANDSTROM (Elisabeth Sandstr�m) Wed Jul 15 1992 13:40

    Does anybody know how to send a mail to a file from ALL-IN-1. I've read in
    the Application Programming:Getting Started on page 17-8 - 17-14 about
    sending a mail to a command file. 

    As I understand you'll have to do a .CMU file and a .COM file for this and
    add the command file name in the profile "Destination for electronic mail".
    My customer doesn't succeed with this.

    What he wants to be able to do is to send an ALL-IN-1 V2.4 message to a VMS
    file so another system can take care of its content.

    Best Regards,

    Elisabeth

1054.1	Using AMTS to send to a file	SIOG::T_REDMOND	Thoughts of an Idle Mind	`Wed Jul 15 1992 14:50`	11
	AMTS allows you to declare a special mail destination. If you put "TBS" into the mail destination field of a user's profile record, ALL-IN-1 will invoke OA$LIB:TBS.COM to process any messages sent to the user. TBS.COM could perform a DCL copy to move the message text to another directory where the mail system picks it up. Make sure you remember to copy the mail header as well, and to convert the file into ASCII (or whatever the other mail system understands). It would also probably help if you generated a unique file name each time round. Tony
1054.4	Or the MAIL SEND function?	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	DEC Mail Works for ME sometimes	`Wed Jul 15 1992 18:33`	15
	Elisabeth, Are you sure AMTS (Alternate MAil Transport System) is the way you want to go, here's another alternative depending on what you are trying to do. the MAIL SEND function will also take a parameter that is a VMS filespec e.g MAIL SEND [USER.A1.DOC8]ZXXXXXXX.TXT Just a thought. Regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
1054.5	AMTS doesn't work for me either!	IOSG::WDAVIES	There can only be one ALL-IN-1 Mail	`Wed Jul 15 1992 19:32`	14
	Not true - I just tried it. I can't figure out AMTS at all - however maybe you are thinking of _SPECIAL addressing ? If you start the address with an Underscore then OA$LIB:SPECIAL.COM is executed. The default is to run VMSmail to send - but you could modify it to do something else. Tony or someone else please elaborate on AMTS and how it is set up. Winto
1054.7	This always USED to work	FORTY2::ASH	Grahame Ash @REO	`Thu Jul 16 1992 10:49`	7
	fwiw, I'm with Tony - create a new user, called MAILFILE, give it a mail destination of MAILFILE, create oa$lib:mailfile.com, which takes the current document as a parameter #MAILFILE (see Chapter 17 of the V2.4 API Guide). What's the problem guys - surely this works?!! grahame
1054.8		IOSG::WDAVIES	There can only be one ALL-IN-1 Mail	`Thu Jul 16 1992 11:22`	26
	- well my mistake - MAIDES is VALIDATED on MUA options : So to a system manager it would appear impoosible to enter anuything else in it... what you need to do is this Elisabeth. <WRITE ADD PROFIL USER=REPLY,MAIDES="REPLY" Create a file REPLY.COM in OA$LIB: $WRITE OAMAILBOX "OA GET #MAILADDR" $@DCLMAILBOX $p1 = "''RESULT'" $WRITE OAMAILBOX "OA GET #MAILSUBJ" $@DCLMAILBOX $p2 = "''RESULT'" $! $REPLY/USER='P1' "''p2'" To use it, address mail to: TO: REPLY_username Winton
1054.10		IOSG::MAURICE	Ceci n'est pas une note	`Thu Jul 16 1992 14:48`	6
	This just a case where the chicken must come before the egg, i.e. the command file must be in place before the profile field can be edited. Cheers Stuart
