There are no known bugs in PMDF's DELIVER
subsystem at this time. However, there are a few minor nuisances which
users should be aware of:
MAIL.DELIVERY
files since there is no way to watch deliver process the file except by enabling debug code in DELIVER
(which is not an option normal users can exercise). However, the L action can be used to create a log file of the DCL commands DELIVER
executes on behalf of the user when processing a message:
! Log commands executed in a file unconditionally * * * A L DELIVER.LOG * * * A E @DO_SOMETHING.COM |
DELIVER
can be captured in a file by using the /OUTPUT
qualifier:
! Execute a command file with logging * * * A E @DO_SOMETHING.COM/OUTPUT=DO_SOMETHING.LOG |
DELIVER
does watch for users sending messages to themselves and then tries to be somewhat more informative than is usual about any errors it finds in MAIL.DELIVERY
files.
DELIVER
uses 252 character buffers. In particular, parameters in MAIL.DELIVERY
files are limited to a maximum of 252 characters each. Most lines processed by DELIVER
are limited to PMDF's usual 1024 character maximum. Lines output to command files are a special case; DELIVER
must respect DCL's builtin 256-character line length limit. This might impose even more severe restrictions on symbol assignments and other commands than DELIVER
does. DELIVER
silently truncates lines rather than complaining about line lengths.
