NDC comm CompuFax user manual Merging From The Command Line

Here is a sample fax file (MERGE.TXT) we could send:

## MERGE_EN ABLE %%Internal_Address%% %%Salutation%%:

Just wanted to say 'Hello.'

Let me know how things are going with you. Best, Bill.

Let us say, we send this with the following command:

$ FAX SEN D MERGE.TXT / LOOKUP= CITY= "Los Angeles"

Jane Jones now gets this fax:

Attn: Jane Jones, Purchasing Dept.

Dear Ms. Jones:

Just wanted to say 'Hello.'

Let me know how things are going with you.

Best, Bill.

Fred Smith gets:

Mail stop 333

Dear Mr. Smith:

Just wanted to say 'Hello.'

Let me know how things are going with you.

Best, Bill.

Please note the # # MERGE_ENABLE directive in the MERGE.TXT file. This is to ensure that the merge feature is enabled.

3.12 Merging From The Command Line

If you want to send the above fax to someone who is not in your lookup file, you can of course add that person to the lookup file, but in case you do not want to do that, there is another way:

$ FAX SEN D MERGE.TXT / N UMBER= 1(213)5678900 - $- / MERGE= (internal_address, "Buying Department", - $- salutation, "Dear Tim Mooney")

This sends the following fax to 1(213)567-8900:

Buying Department

Dear Tim Mooney:

Just wanted to say 'Hello.'

Let me know how things are going with you.

Best, Bill.
