Info

Split definitions will normally be executed through a function B in Auto Forms Control. Refer to page 152 and 179 for more information. Spooled File Inspector (SFI) ® The purpose of this feature is, that InterForm400 can look for a special string in a spool file and change the form type of the spool file depending on wether the string was found or not. This can be done without any programming. To maintain SFI definitions use the APF3812/WRKSFID command. (See Sample SFI definition below). To use/run an SFI definition, enter a line in an Auto Forms Control definition using function 8 (Call Program), and specify program RUNSFI and library APF3812. (See Description of the RUNSFI program below). 448 User’s Manual for InterForm400 ® Create SFI definition SFI110D SFI definition . . . . . . DEMO______ Description . . . . . . .

ERROR Form type, *SAME When AFC invokes the RUNSFI program, it will look for a SFI definition having the same name as the form type of the spooled file. (I.e. if the form type of your spooled file is DEMO, the SFI definition named DEMO will be used). The RUNSFI program then scans the spooled file for the search text string specified in the SFI definition (within the specified page-, line- and position-limits). If the text string was found, the form type of the spooled file will be changed to the value specified in the 'New form type If text found' field. Likewise the form type will be changed to the value specified in the '- If not found' field if the text string wasn't found. Finally the RUNSFI program will hold and release the spooled file - in order to let AFC process the spooled file with the new form type - unless the value for New form type is *SAME, then the spooled file will not be held and released. Note: If a SFI definition with the name of the spooled file's form type doesn't exist - no action will be performed. All comparisons in SFI are case sensitive - including the SFI definition / form type comparison.
Utility Commands relevant for E-mailing The Clear Mail Log Command The command Clear Mail Log (APF3812/CLRMAILLOG) is closely linked with the APF3812/W RKMAILLOG command. W henever you e-mail from InterForm400 both the e-mail and the status of the e-mail is stored in a log. If you want to purge old e-mails and log entries you can use the Clear Mail Log command. As default all entries older than 120 days will be deleted when you run this command: Type choices, press Enter. Clear Mail Log (CLRMAILLOG) Mimimum days old . . . . . . . . MINDAYS 120 14-365 OutBox directory . . . . . . . . OUTBOXDIR *ALL Name, *ALL Reorganize physical file mbrs . RGZ *NO *NO, *YES Bottom F3=Exit F4=Prompt F5=Refresh F12=Cancel F13=How to use this display F24=More keys The OUTBOXDIR (OutBox directory) can be used for specifying a specific sub directory (within /APF3812Home/OutBox), if you only want to clean up a specific subdirectory. W ith *ALL (default) all subdirectories will be cleaned for old e-mails. You can also decide to reorganize the members of the physical files used for the mail log with this command. As default the members are not reorganized. For a description of what reorganizing is refer to the description of the OS400 command, RGZPFM. The e-mails are stored in /APF3812Mail/OutBox. � TIP � It is a REALLY good idea to run the CLRMAILLOG command on a regular basis to prevent excessive disk usage as the e-mails will build up in /APF3812Home/OutBox. The End Mail Subsystem Command The command APF3812/ENDMAILSBS can be used for ending the APF3812/MAILINTER subsystem which is used for InterForm400 SMTP. Refer to page 292 for details. The advantage of the ENDMAILSBS command compared to normal ENDSBS is e.g. that this will run faster. InterForm A/S 449
