1026.0. "wrong syntax in DSN$NOTIFICATION_BATCH.COM ?!" by ATZIS1::SCHIESSER () Wed Apr 30 1997 17:04

Troubleshooting a Notification-problem from NICE to our DELL and CTO-Interface,
we found a problem in DSN$ROOT:[COM]DSN$NOTIFICATION_BATCH.COM.

In our opinion, both notification commands in above procedure are incorrect, 
but one of them will still work (?!).

The qualifiers for sending a DSNlink mail should have the format:
     /SRQ= .......   OR  /ACCESS= .......

Therefore, we have changed the dsn mail command from:

$       !   The notification mail will be sent using the sequence number
$       !
$       dsn mail /srq 'p3 -
            "''p1'"  -
            "''p5'"  -
            /subject="''p2'" -
            /sender="''p4'" -
            /personal_name="DSNlink Notification "

to:

->$       !   The notification mail will be sent using the sequence number
->$       !
->$       dsn mail 'p3 -
->            "''p5'"  -
->            /srq="''p1'"  -
->            /subject="''p2'" -
->            /sender="''p4'" -
->            /personal_name="DSNlink Notification "

and the 2nd dsn mail command, from:

$       !   The notification mail will be sent using the access number
$       !
$       dsn mail 'p3 -
            "''p1'" -
            "''p5'" -
            /subject="''p2'" -
            /sender="''p4'" -
            /personal_name="DSNlink Notification "

to:

->$       !   The notification mail will be sent using the access number
->$       !
->$       dsn mail 'p3 -
->            "''p5'" -
->            /access="''p1'" -
->            /subject="''p2'" -
->            /sender="''p4'" -
->            /personal_name="DSNlink Notification "

However, normally the access number should be used for any notification, and
this will work with the old syntax too.

This note is only a reminder for a future release.
