This document covers the following topics:
Modify the send defaults for a mail item that is to be sent with Z-MAILA or Z-MAILAX. You should call Z-MLDFLT before calling Z-MAILA or Z-MAILAX.
Delivery date and time are interpreted as GMT date and time. When you do not specify date and time (or set them to zero), the current date and time are used.
The parameter Suspended-transport-flag only applies to a transport service item. It is used to control when the transport service item is to be created. When this parameter is not marked, Z-MAILA or Z-MAILAX automatically invokes Z-CNFIRM in order to create the transport service item. When this parameter is marked, Z-MAILA or Z-MAILAX does not invoke Z-CNFIRM; in this case, you must invoke Z-CNFIRM yourself (see the description of Z-CNFIRM).
When you use Z-MLDFLT to modify the send defaults of a telex, teletex or telefax that is to be sent using Con-nect Teleservices and you specify a value in the parameter Delivery-time, you must observe the following, otherwise this value will not be used. In the address of the telex, teletex or telefax node, both values for the time range in which the mail item is to be sent must be set to zero; i.e. the time range must be defined as follows:
Send between 0000 (hhmm) in GMT
and 0000 (hhmm) in GMT
However, if values other than zero have been defined in the address of the telex, teletex or telefax node, the mail item is always sent at the earliest possible time.
Example: the time range between 18:00 and 22:00 was defined in the address and you specify 20:00 in the parameter Delivery-time. In this case, your specification (20:00) is ignored and the mail item is sent at the earliest possible time which is 18:00.
The Work-parameter must be blank when calling Z-MLDFLT. Its contents is passed to Z-MAILA or Z-MAILAX.
