command

DCL command to use to display an application.

Description

The SET and SHOW APPLICATION_COMMAND commands control how PMDF MAIL displays MIME messages containing parts labelled as type application (e.g., word processing documents, PostScript files, DDIF files, etc.).

PMDF MAIL has its own procedures for displaying applications. You may override these procedures with the SET APPLICATION_COMMAND. With this command, you specify a DCL command which accepts five parameters: (1) the message content type (always APPLICATION), (2) the message content subtype, (3) the name of the file containing the data to display, (4) a title to show, if possible, when displaying the application, and (5) whether or not to delete the file after displaying it (DELETE or NODELETE). The specified DCL command will then be executed from a subprocess each time an application is to be displayed; the parameters (1) --- (5) will be provided by PMDF MAIL.

To undo a setting made with SET APPLICATION_COMMAND, use SET NOAPPLICATION_COMMAN. The current setting, if any, may be queried with SHOW APPLICATION_COMMAND.

Examples

Suppose that the following command procedure D1:[BOB]APPL.COM has been developed to display applications:

$ set noverify $ set noon $ ! $ ! D1:[BOB]APPL.COM -- Display a message part of type APPLICATION $ ! $ ! P1 = content type (always "APPLICATION") $ ! P2 = content subtype (accept DDIF/DIVA/DOTS/DTIF & POSTSCRIPT) $ ! P3 = file name (file containing application data to display) $ ! P4 = title (we ignore this) $ ! P5 = DELETE/NODELETE $ ! $ P2 = F$EDIT (P2, "UPCASE") $ if "POSTSCRIPT" .eqs. P2 then goto PS $ if "DDIF" .eqs. P2 then goto CDA $ if "DIVA" .eqs. P2 then goto CDA $ if "DOTS" .eqs. P2 then goto CDA $ if "DTIF" .eqs. P2 then goto CDA $ write sys$output "Unrecognized content type/subtype: ''P1'/''P2'" $ goto DONE $ ! $ PS: $ VIEW/INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS 'P3'/FORMAT=PS $ goto DONE $ CDA: $ if P2 .nes. "DTIF" then P2 = "DDIF" $ VIEW/INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS 'P3'/FORMAT='P2' $ goto DONE $ DONE: $ if f$edit (P5, "UPCASE") .eqs. "DELETE" then delete/nolog 'P3'; $ exit

To instruct PMDF MAIL to use this procedure to display message parts of type APPLICATION, issue the following command:

EMAIL> SET APPLICATION_COMMAND "@D1:[BOB]APPLICATION.COM" EMAIL> SHOW APPLICATION_COMMAND Application viewing command is "@D1:[BOB]APPLICATION.COM". EMAIL>
