Facsimile user exit program

The facsimile user exit program is designed to enable Content Manager OnDemand server fax functions to work with facsimile (fax) software running on your IBM® i system. To enable server fax, you must modify the QRLMSFAX sample CL program source code, and then compile the QRLMSFAX program so that Content Manager OnDemand can process a server fax request during report retrieval.

The sample CL source code for this program (member name QRLMSFAX) can be found in source file QSAMPLES2 in libraries QRDARS and QUSRRDARS. The most current version of the source code is found in QRDARS library; this version is the one you should use.

Simply change the one line in the CL program that issues the SNDFAX command to use the command for the fax software you have installed on your system. You could also replace that line with a program call instead, if no command is available.

After your changes are made, compile the QRLMSFAX CL program into QRDARS library. Be sure to preserve the QRLMSFAX program name and place the compiled program in the QRDARS library.

Note: Any program source code that you modify should not be placed in the QRDARS library because that library is replaced during software upgrades. However, QUSRRDARS library is not replaced and can be used for your modified source. IBM recommends that you copy the original sample program source code into a backup member in case you need to go back to the original source code as shipped from IBM.
