Re: Use of IFS -- MIDRANGE-L

Hate to say it, Mike, but it's hard to respond to "supposes".

Does SpoolMail run on the 400 or the PC? If on the PC and converting to Excel, you can still have it point to the IFS by mapping a network drive - again, NetServer has to be started.

Is SpoolMail on everyone's PC? It is not clear what is going on.

Tell us more, please. Or call Gumbo. If you have a license, that's what they are there for. And they should know how to help you better than we will.

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

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
