Description

The SET and SHOW VIDEO_COMMAND commands control how PMDF MAIL displays MIME messages containing parts labelled as type video (e.g., an MPEG video).

PMDF MAIL has its own procedures for displaying videos. You may override these procedures with the SET VIDEO_COMMAND. With this command, you specify a DCL command which accepts five parameters: (1) the message content type (always VIDEO), (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 video, 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 a video is to be displayed; the parameters (1) --- (5) will be provided by PMDF MAIL.

To undo a setting made with the SET VIDEO_COMMAND command, use SET NOVIDEO_COMMAND. The current setting may be queried with the SHOW VIDEO_COMMAND command.
