This document covers the following topics:
Modify an appointment or meeting.
If the originator modifies the basic information of a meeting (date, time, subject, location or agenda) after the invitations have been sent, a new version of the meeting is created and the old version is saved as the history of the meeting. As much as 9999 versions of a meeting can be kept. As long as the modified invitations are not sent with Z-MCONFM, the status of the meeting is "pending".
If other information of a meeting is changed either by the originator or by an attendee (e.g. keywords, security levels, private flag or time occupation), a new version is not created.
The date range between Start-date and End-date must be equal to or less than 90 days (otherwise the return code 43 is issued).
Start-time and End-time are interpreted as GMT (0).
If Start-time and End-time are not specified, the time range from 0:00 to 23:59 is automatically provided.
If the parameter No-time-occupancy is specified, the appointment or meeting does not occupy time in the calendar. This means that if another user wants to add a meeting and searches the calendar, this time range is not marked as reserved.
If the parameter No-time-occupancy is not specified (i.e. the appointment or meeting is to occupy time in the calendar) and another calendar entry already occupies the specified time range, return code 94 is issued. Old versions of a meeting (history) are not considered.
If the parameter Separate-daily-entries is specified, the appointment or meeting occupies only the specified time range for each day. If the parameter Separate-daily-entries is not specified, the whole time range starting with the Start-time of the first day and ending with the End-time of the last day is reserved.
To add attendees and resources to the address list of the meeting, you have to call Z-ADDATT.
To undo attendees and resources that have been defined with Z-ADDATT after the invitations have been sent, you have to call Z-UNDO.
When you modify a meeting, you must also call the following subprograms:
Z-STIME to start the search for free time if you have marked the parameter Search-free-time.
Z-MCONFM to confirm (i.e. send) the modified invitations.
Notes can later be added to the appointment or meeting using Z-NOTE.
Parameters which are not completed in the parameter list are deleted from the appointment or meeting. Thus, to retain the existing values, you must specify them once more before you invoke this subprogram.
