Comments
Definition of these signals is optional.
These signals provide new values for the same substitution parameters affected by
the
LookupParm
signals (which see).
The remaining comments apply equally well to
SetParm
and
LookupParm:
Use of these signals are completely optional.
All register values specified are retained by the server for use in subsequent
messages. However, these values are lost when the server protocol is halted. It is
not necessary to set them up for every message (unless there is a change,
obviously).
The specified text substitution register can contain additional text substitution
directives, or parts thereof.
The number of these signals actually defined in the XSIG is specified in the
e-Mailer signal block definition. The number of signals which may be defined can
vary from 0 (no text substitution signals at all) to any value — limited only by
practical considerations. (See “Appendix D: System limitations” on page 107, for a
discussion of these limits.) The number of
SetParm
and
LookupParm
signals
defined must be set to four each in order to use the signal block with the
Send
SIMPL symbol (as opposed to building your own XSIG to work with your
signal block definition).
