Block Types and Descriptions

Action Column

When searching for a match to a caller entry or for a particular pointer, SVMi-8 follows a consistent sequence. MENU Blocks require a more elaborate search than other Blocks. However, the pattern is consistent. It looks for the most specific match. A direct digit match on an INPUT value takes precedence over a wild card match. Also, a wild card pointer with a lesser number of "?" characters will precede one with a greater number. A match on a pointer in the current mode of operation takes precedence over a pointer in Default mode.

MENU Blocks search and give precedence in the following order:

-Translation pointers

-Other Pointers

-Extensions

-Mailboxes

-Announcements

Action Column Options

Goto Specifies the next Block to execute, if the caller's entry matches the INPUT value.

Pass (Password then Goto) Used only with MENU Blocks. A password pointer is used to restrict access to a target Block by requiring the caller to enter a password code before passing control to the target block.

Translations Translates caller entry, telephone system or network integration information to the translated value specified. SVMi-8 then searches for a match, using the translated value.

Search Used only with MENU blocks. This type of ACTION uses the INPUT value to search a specified range of block types to find a Block with a Number that matches and then passes control to the block. More than one Block type may be searched at one time. Valid block types to be searched are Extensions, Mailboxes and Announcements (searched in that order).

File This type of action provides for a large amount of Input values, for a specific MENU, be stored in a database which is accessed at the time the MENU is executing. It directs SVMi-8 to search the specified data base file, located in the DTA directory of the hard disk, for a match to the INPUT value. The two types of data files are POINTER files and SDF files that have the filename extensions of PTR and SDF respectively. These are used in applications that would otherwise require a very large number of individual event pointers to be programmed in a MENU Block. Pointer files (.PTR) are simple text files, which may be produced on a word processor. Each line of a pointer file appears and acts exactly like a pointer on the SVMi-8 screen. This operates as an extension to the event pointers on the MENU Block. Also, a single pointer file can be used for more than one MENU Block. System Data Format (.SDF) files are a universal form of computer generated files. They are composed of individual, fixed-length records of ASCII characters, terminated by carriage return and line feed characters. When SVMi-8 reads this type of file, it treats each record as if it was a translation pointer. The following is the record layout specification:

Record length: 22 characters

Field layout:

Offset 0, Width 10, Left adjusted, padded with spaces, acts as the search value.

Offset 10, Width 10, Left adjusted, padded with spaces, acts as the translation value.

Offset 20, Width 2 Carriage return and line feed characters.
