Tag Description
fll
Local file attachment
fls
Server file attachment
All subsequent file-specific information is assumed to be for that recipient until the next file inclusion tag is
encountered.
Let's extend our previous example even further by including more than one file and sending this identical fax to more
than one recipient.
cvr=classic
sub=Sample Hello World Fax
fll=hello.txt
fvl=hello.tif
tfn=555-1212
tnm=Billy Bear
tco=Wild Mountain Resorts
tfn=556-1313
tnm=Rocky Racoon
tco=Big River Ski Lodge
tfn=557-1414
tnm=Kyle Koala
tco=Down Under Adventures
This tag file will use a classic cover page with the subject line, "Sample Hello World Fax." This cover page will be
populated with the name and company name of each recipient (defined with the tnm and tco tags in each recipient
block, respectively).
The fax will comprise a local file attachment (hello.txt) and a local overlay file (hello.tif). Everything but the
cover page will be identical for all fax recipients.
Here documents
"Here" documents are special cases within tag files and batch files (See Batch files) where a local file, instead of
being referenced externally, is actually embedded directly into the tag or batch file.
"Here" documents can be embedded using any of these vfx tags:
Tag Description
fll
Local file attachment
ntf
Note file (memo)
The normal way to use any of these tags is to supply an external file specification (full path and file name you want to
include). When you define a "here" document, you simply define an internal area of the tag or batch that contains the
same information. Consider this example:
fll=<<EOF
Hello, World.
EOF
Instead of the fll tag referencing an external text file (containing the message, Hello, World.), the message is
directly embedded using the <<EOF and EOF statements to define the area between them as a "here" document.
