Re: Use of IFS

There are many reports and I suppose they put them into Excel.

just email the reports to the users rather than clogging up your disk with 
reports that may never be reviewed?

Subject: Use of IFS



Hello All, We have a program that sends spool reports to a users 
directory/folder, each month for end of month reports. What happens is 
that the program does not delete or clear the folder first, actually it 
creates a new folder each month, but is copying the previous months 
reports. The programmer who wrote this is a 'consultant' who is hard to 
reach, so rather than try and fix his, I would rather simply get these 
reports into the IFS and then send it to the users location. Only problem 
is that I have no prior usage of the IFS in that way. I did read a very 
interesting Ebook on this subject of the IFS that was mentioned here last 
week. But the example there was more putting a file onto the IFS, I would 
like to take the reports that are generated from SpoolMail (the Gumbo 
product), and direct them accordingly. Perhaps this is fairly easy and 
someone can list the steps for me to fill in the blanks.

Greatly appreciate any help on this, Sorry if a bit vague.

Mike
