I have a user that currently has over 200 coversheets in Word format
that she currently uses to fax over printed AS400 reports. The reason
she uses separate coversheets is that she has unique notes that are on
each coversheet and she doesn't want to retype them each time.
I'm trying to figure out a way to accommodate her with Blue Fax without
having to create 200 coversheets.
Re: How can I handle multiple Coversheets?
There are many ways to come around this, and it is only the programmer's
fantasy, which sets the limits.
A simple solution could be the following:
- Create a Source Physical file (e.g. RCPNOTES)
For all recipients - add a member with the same member name as
the Recipient ID. Use the SEU editor to type the fixed text.
The next thing is to program a coverpage program (you can work
with a copy of BASIC in QSAMPLE ), where you test if there is a
member to the recipient. If yes, then program a loop where you
fetch a record one by one, from the member which matches the
recipient and use the command WRTCPGTXT to write a note line
one by one,.
Note!
Recipients (e.g. customers) can automatically be added to the phone
book in BlueFax. There are also commands for automatically import from
third party databases (e.g. ADDFAXRCP). For more info see elsewhere on
this page.
