HELPLIB.HLB  —  PMDF  DB  Commands  Fax-Mode  Add (FAX Mode)
    Syntax: add alias-name fax-number number domain domain-name
          [[item value]...]

    To add an alias in FAX mode, the alias name, FAX telephone
    number, and domain name (e.g., text-fax.example.com) must all
    be supplied. If the FAX telephone number contains any spaces or
    commas, then it must be enclosed in double quotes.

    Additional items of information can be specified. Note that when
    specifying a value for an item, the value must be enclosed in
    double quotes if it contains any spaces, commas, or characters
    you don't want converted to lower case. Furthermore, any double
    quotes appearing in the value must be changed to two consecutive
    double quotes. The names of the additional items and their
    meanings are:

 1-address

    The recipient's address can be displayed in one to five lines
    on the FAX cover page. These items are used to specify each
    individual line of the address. If no address lines are
    specified, then no address lines will be displayed on the FAX
    cover page. If intermediate address lines are omitted (e.g.,
    lines 1 and 3 specified, line 2 omitted), then blank address
    lines will be displayed in place of the omitted lines.

 authorization

    Your site might require you to specify an authorization or
    access code in order to send FAXes. You can specify any required
    authorization or access codes with this item.

 fax-modem-number

    The telephone number which the transmitting FAX modem should use
    when identifying itself to the receiving FAX device. While the
    receiving FAX device might print this number across the top or
    bottom of received pages, it is not placed on the FAX by PMDF-
    FAX (the sending FAX modem). To control the FAX number which is
    displayed on the cover page as your FAX telephone number, use the
    "my-fax-number" item.

 my-fax-number

    The FAX telephone number to display on the FAX cover page.

 my-organization-name

    The name of your organization, group, or department to display
    across the top of each transmitted FAX page.

 my-telephone-number

    The recipient's telephone number to be printed on the FAX
    cover page. If not specified, then no telephone number will be
    displayed.

    For example, to specify a FAX address for John Doe at Example
    Company, Inc., the following command can be issued while in FAX
    mode:

 db.fax> add john-fax fax-number "(714) 555-1212" domain
             "text-fax.example.com" recipient "John Doe" 1-address
             "Example" telephone "(714) 555-1212"
 db.fax> show john-fax
 Alias name: john-fax
 Recipient's FAX number:       (714) 555-1212
 Recipient's name:             John Doe
 Address line 1:               Example
 Recipient's telephone number: (714) 555-1212
 Domain specification:         @text-fax.example.com
 [1 entry shown]
 db.fax>

    Note that all of the values entered were enclosed in double
    quotes. This is often the safest policy as it avoids having to
    worry about spaces or other characters which can appear in the
    values to be specified and it prevents values entered from being
    converted to lower case.

 recipients-name

    The name of the recipient as it will appear on the cover page
    of the FAX message. Be sure to enclose the recipient's name in
    double quotes so as to not have it converted to lower case. If
    not specified, then no recipient's name will be displayed on the
    FAX cover page.

 send-after

    Do not send the FAX until after the specified date and time. The
    date and time must be given using the standard OpenVMS date-time
    specification format. For example, the date-time specification
    "3-FEB-2012 22:35:00" requests that the FAX not be transmitted
    until after 22:35 (10:35 PM) on February 3, 2012.

 setup

    A PostScript file to first process before processing your
    message. The filename must specify a full path to the file and
    the file must be world readable. Text library modules can also be
    specified using the format file-spec(module-name); e.g.,

    setup D1:[INIT]PSLIB(LETTERHEAD)

    where the text library is the file D1:[INIT]PSLIB.TLB and the
    module name is LETTERHEAD.
