PMDF Programmer's Reference Manual
PMDF-PRM-6.0

For each message to be sent with PMDF_send, an item list describing the message to be sent must first be built. The entries in this item list specify the message's From: and To: addresses as well as input sources for the content of the message. The basic steps in sending a message with callable SEND are:

• Build the item list to pass to PMDF_send:
  • a. specify any special processing options (e.g., PMDF_BLANK, PMDF_NOIGNORE_ERRORS, etc.);
  • b. specify the message's envelope From: address with the PMDF_USER item;
  • c. specify the message's To:, Cc:, and Bcc: addresses with the PMDF_TO, PMDF_CC, and PMDF_BCC items;
  • d. an initial message header may be specified through an input source which supplies each of the initial message header lines (PMDF_HDR_FILE, PMDF_HDR_PROC), or the content of individual message header lines may be specified with individual item codes (PMDF_SUBJECT, PMDF_REPLY_TO, PMDF_ORGANIZATION, etc.);
  • e. specify the input sources for the message body with the PMDF_MSG_FILE or PMDF_MSG_PROC items; and then
  • f. terminate the item list with PMDF_END_LIST.
  • Pass the item list to PMDF_send.
  • Check the return status from PMDF_send. To enqueue additional messages, simply repeat these steps. The entire set of available item codes and their usage is given in Section 2.7 .
