Input_Item_Codes

 

MAIL$_MAILFILE_DEFAULT_NAME

   MAIL$_MAILFILE_DEFAULT_NAME specifies the default mail file
   specification MAIL$MAILFILE_INFO_FILE should use when opening
   a mail file. The buffer address field of the item descriptor
   points to a character string of 0 to 255 characters that defines
   the default mail file specification.

   Specify a value from 0 to 255 in the buffer length field of the
   item descriptor.

   If you specify the value 0 in buffer length field of the item
   descriptor, MAIL$MAILFILE_INFO_FILE uses the current default
   directory as the default mail file specification.

   If you do not specify MAIL$_MAILFILE_DEFAULT_NAME, MAIL$MAILFILE_
   INFO_FILE creates the default mail file specification from the
   following sources:

   o  Disk and directory defined in the caller's user authorization
      file (UAF)

   o  Subdirectory defined in the Mail user profile

   o  Default file type of .MAI
 

MAIL$_MAILFILE_FOLDER_ROUTINE

   MAIL$_MAILFILE_FOLDER_ROUTINE specifies an entry point longword
   address of a user-written routine that MAIL$MAILFILE_INFO_FILE
   should use to display folder names. MAIL$MAILFILE_INFO_FILE calls
   the user-written routine for each folder in the mail file.
 

MAIL$_MAILFILE_NAME

   MAIL$_MAILFILE_NAME specifies the name of the mail file to be
   opened. The buffer address field points to a buffer that contains
   a character string 0 to 255 characters long.

   Specify a value from 0 to 255 in the buffer length field of the
   item descriptor.

   If you do not specify MAIL$_MAILFILE_NAME, the default mail file
   name is MAIL.
 

MAIL$_MAILFILE_USER_DATA

   MAIL$_MAILFILE_USER_DATA specifies a longword that MAIL$MAILFILE_
   INFO_FILE should pass to the user-defined folder name action
   routine.

   This item code is valid only when used with the item code MAIL$_
   MAILFILE_FOLDER_ROUTINE.

   0.
