The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (SDK) File Format Application Program Interface (FFAPI), version 3.0

The -W parameter allows you to specify users and files on the command line as a method to send attachments with FFAPI. You can list files in two forms: physical filename, or physical name followed by a comma then logical filename. If you want to send two files, you can specify one by physical filename and the other by physical plus logical filename.

Here are some examples of -W syntax.

1: To send more than one file to one user (each filename must be preceded 

   by a space):

   -Wny4/po1/jbrown c:\dos\list1.txt c:\dos\list2.txt

  • To send more than one file to more than one user (each address must be separated from the next by a comma; no more than 10 spaces can precede or follow the comma):

    -Wny4/po1/jbrown c:\dos\list1.txt, ny4/sales/margb c:\dos\list2.txt

  • To repeat the -W option for each additional user:

    -Wny4/po1/jbrown c:\dos\list1.txt -Wlanet/sales/margb a:list2.txt

    Variables:

    • ny4 is the network name
    • po1 is the PO name
    • jbrown is a userID
    • margb is a userID
