Fax command line used to fax the .pdf file.

• Defined by global: #OOFPDF1.FAX
• Required or optional: optional
• Maximum size: 255 bytes
• Default value: none

REMARKS

The contents of FAX-CMD will only be executed when #00FPDF1.ENABLE-FAX = “Y”.

When Command(1,7)=“METHOD “ it is assumed that what follows is the name of the method to be called. For example to call a custom method named MYFMETH set Command = “METHOD MYFMETH”.

The CALL list for the method is MSG$[ALL]. MSG$[1] and will contain the full .pdf file name including path.

The Method is executed after the .pdf file is created, after the Post Save Method is executed, or after the email command is executed.

No other fax command processing will be done.

When Command(1,7)<>“METHOD” it is assumed that what follows is any valid fax command line argument.

The fax command line argument option supports $variables. Immediately before the
command line is executed the $variables are replaced with the current values from the global format #OOFPDF1.
The following is an example of a fax command line for VSI*FAX defined in the Settings and Options screen:

/usr/vsifax/bin/vfx -n $FTFN -U $FFNM $FILE

The following is an example of the same fax command line after Report-IV to PDF has replaced the $variables with their corresponding values from #OOFPDF1:

/usr/vsifax/bin/vfx -n 7325601594 -U TSI MYFILE.pdf

The command includes the required path and DOES NOT include “.”. Do not enter “.” in front of the path.

Supported fax $variables are:
