Email Parameters

You can specify the following email parameters, separated by commas, using the printer's DRIVPRM1+4 parameters, the MAILBOOK or Writer specified MAILLIB email parameter members, the file's OUTPUT ADDRESS and OUTPUT USERDATA parameters or inline first in the print file before the print data:

FROM=from-address,
REPLYTO=reply-to-address,
TO=to-address,to-address1,to-address2, ... ,to-addressn,
CC=cc-address,cc-address1,cc-address2, ... ,cc-addressn,
BCC=bcc-address,bcc-address1,bcc-address2, ... ,bcc-addressn,
SUBJECT=subject,
FILENAME=attachment-file-name[.PDF/.PDFL/.HTML/.RTF/.MSG],
MSGTYPE=[TEXT | HTML],
WEBLINK=Web-link-name,
WEBHOST=Web-Interface- Host-Name,
WEBPORT=Web-Interface-Port,
HTMLFORM=HTML-skeleton-form,
MAILSTAT=[YES | NO | DELAY | FAILURE | SUCCESS],
MAILBOOK= mail-book-member,
MAILCOMB=[FILENAME | GROUPID | USERID],
DEFTOUSR=YES|NO,
MSGSTART=>> - start of inline message
<<MSGEND=    - end of inline message
MSG=message-body-text-lines — must be the last parameter coded

• MSGTYPE=[TEXT | HTML]—specifies if the message body must be Plain Text or HTML. The default is TEXT.
• WEBLINK=link-name—specifies the displayed name of the URL Link as shown in the HTML message body.
• WEBHOST=HostName—specifies the host name where the CA Spool Web Interface is active. The default is the local host name.
• WEBPORT=Port—specifies the port used by the CA Spool Web Interface. The default is 80.
• HTMLFORM=Form—specifies the name of the HTML skeleton to be included from HTMLIB. The default is the file's form code.
• MAILSTAT=YES/NO/DELAY/FAILURE/SUCCESS—Email Delivery Status Notifications.
• MAILCOMB=FILENAME/GROUPID/USERID—Sends an email with all queued files as attachments that have same the FILENAME, GROUPID or file creator’s USERID and have same TO=, CC= and BCC= email parameters. If XEQGRPID=JOBID and MAILCOMB=GROUPID are specified, all files created by a batch job with the same TO=, CC= and BCC= email parameters, are sent as one email with multiple file attachments.
• DEFTOUSR=YES|NO Specifies the action to perform when an email has no TO= value defined:
  • YES - Sends the email to the userid that created the email.
  • NO - Holds the email.

  Default: YES

  The CA Spool transformers support most email parameters as inline data in the print file before the data is transformed. However, the following exceptions exist:

  • The CA Spool Java Transformers do not support the MAILCOMB and DEFTOUSR parameter as inline data.
  • The CA Spool C Transformers do not support the MAILCOMB, DEFTOUSR, MAILSTAT and MAILBOOK parameters as inline data.
• MSG=message-body-text-lines—If this parameter is passed as an inline email parameter, it must be the last parameter coded.

  The email is formatted as follows, for both MSGTYPE=HTML and MSGTYPE=TEXT (the default):

  • The first non-blank character on each line generates a new line.
  • If any line of the MSG parameter extends to column 60, no new lines are generated. Data from the next line continues immediately after the character in column 60 from the previous line.
• The maximum length of FROM, REPLYTO, SUBJECT, FILENAME, WEBLINK and WEBHOST is 60 characters. The full 60 character length can be achieved through continuation on a second line.
• If MSG= is specified with MSGSTART=>> and <<MSGEND=, the message body contains the MSG= data followed by the data between MSGSTART=>> and <<MSGEND=.
• If MSG= is specified with a FILENAME that uses a .MSG extension, such as FILENAME=&FNM.MSG, the message body contains the MSG= data followed by the data in the CA Spool file.
• If MSGSTART=>> and <<MSGEND= are specified with a FILENAME that uses a .MSG file extension, such as FILENAME=&FNM.MSG, the message body contains the data between MSGSTART=>> and <<MSGEND= and the file is attached as a .TXT attachment.
