Filegrams


View Filegram Option

Entries are made into the FILEGRAM HISTORY file (#1.12) at the sending site when the filegram is generated and at the receiving site by the S.DIFG-SRV-HISTORY server. The View Filegram option allows the filegram sender or recipient to inspect the filegram. Select this option and answer the "Select FILEGRAM HISTORY:" prompt with a question mark to get a listing of available filegram histories. You can see the filegram history just created by using the <Spacebar><Return> or another filegram history by entering its internal entry number or date/time.

The following example shows you what a simple (without pointers) filegram looks like. The View Filegram option will show this information to a filegram's sender. The receiver sees additional information about the transmission of the mail message including the network mail path taken to the target system.
