This is a questions related to inter-working between Message Router and
ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.0 and the handling of RMS tagged files (and also PS
files)
I have written a mailbus component that sends messages to ALL-IN-1 IOS
V3.0.
I am building IP-messages (using MRIF), that contain an attachment
which is either PS, or DDIF, (or SIXEL)...what I am currently
doing with mrif is roughly:
..........................
add a fwdipmsg bodypart
add a forwarded bodypart
set MRIF a1_type field DOCUMENT
set MRIF a1_format field to PS or DDIF
put_rms_file filename, file_type = (PS or DDIF)
.................................
The message arrives at A1 V3.0 and when I do SH after having
filed the attachement, I can see the following
attach. cont. Handling data type
-----------------------------------------------------
DDIF DDIF DDIF
PS PS FOREIGN
Is the above correct from an A1 IOS V3.0 stand point ?
I have noticed that when trying to READ the PS attachement
filed I get a nice bolded message "FOREIGN document type
cannot be displayed"...where when I try to READ the DDIF
attachment file as a document it looks like its empty,
there is no message. Is it normal ? or is it wrong because
of the way my original message is packaged to MR ?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards.
Franc.

Sorry for not replying. DDIF ==== Your DDIF document should have worked. We'd need to know things like the version of ALL-IN-1 you have; also the version of VMS (as some bits of the CDA support only work in more recent versions of VMS). The other thing about DDIF - when it was sent, did it have any external references? (Especially, style files). ALL-IN-1, when it mails a DDIF document, notices if there any such references and packs them into the outgoing message (which then becomes a DOTS file, datatype = DOTS). Such a message is (optionally) unpacked into the recipient's file cabinet when s/he reads it. This packing and unpacking is done using CDA library routines: maybe you need to do it too? PostScript ========== ALL-IN-1 normally uses the datatype of PS for PostScript documents. But your datatype of FOREIGN should, I think, have worked as long as you have Handling = PS as you did. Have you tried printing (to a PostScript printer, obviously)? ALL-IN-1 has no mechanism for displaying PostScript to the terminal, so the message you got is to be expected. (If you had set Datatype = PS, the message would have said "PostScript document cannot be displayed" instead.) Hope this helps, Dave. | |||||

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your answer,
The DDIF file I am sending is a simple one, I send it to ALL-IN-1 IOS
V3.0 (<version == Server for VMS V3.0 PBL123A (US) ENGLISH 21-MAR-1992)
which runs on VMS V5.5-1. The message is assembled using MRIF V3.2.
If I copy a DDIF file into my VMS account and import it into A1 using
(DT RVC) I get in SH (Handling = "" and Data Type = "DDIF") but I do
not have a message saying that it cannot display the file, it looks
like an empty document.
Please let me know if you need more info...
Bye.
Franc.
