1344.0. "mail notification with modified MAIDES" by ROM01::NEGRO (Paola Negro EIS-Swas Roma) Wed Sep 02 1992 14:09

    Mail Notification message to ALL-IN-1 users via PC.
    
    I have substituted the MAIDES value within the user profile with a
    command procedure called NOT_PC. This obtains information from the
    message being sent i.e. SENDER , AUTHOR and notifies a PC via PCSA 
    BROADCAST that a mail message has arrived. 
    
    If the user is not in ALL-IN-1 (i.e. DOS) PCSA BROADCAST is sufficent,
    this works fine.
    
    My problem:
    
    if a user is logged on to ALL-IN-1 on a PC the command procedure
    (NOT_PC) must not notify the user of new mail with PCSA BROADCAST but
    should use the standard ALL-IN-1 mail notification procedure.
    
    Is this possible ?

    Paolo,
    
    I doubt whether you could call the bit of code that does the actual
    broadcast but you could certainly mimic it.
    
    Inside NOT_PC.COM you should be able to use CHECK_ACCOUNT to know if
    the user is logged into ALL-IN-1 or not and if so send a VMS Reply to
    the username?

    Hi there!
    
    	Glad to see you're ploughing on ahead of me, I expect to have to
    	do this in a PFR so I'd be VERY interested in your code &
    	experiences.
    
    	I put in a QAR a while back to try and get the notify code made
    	accessible through the script API so that you could just call
    	it. Currently it is not accessible. It just does a $BRKTHRU
    	to the VMS username. I think you may need image privs for this.
    
    	I also QARed the fact that SUBSCRIBER mail isn't forwarded to
    	non-standard mail addresses - we can use the "receive subscriber
    	mail" flag in the profile now.
    
    	Keep us posted on how you get on!
    
    Regards,
    Paul

    Paul, I have written a little program that simulates the ALL-IN-1 mail
    broadcast. If you are interested please mail me.
    
    Bye.
