Phone Do-Not-Send Checking

$dns_phone pathname [code] [EmptyOK]


This command is used in a Job Administration UJP file to specify a do-not-send lookup file for use at launch time for phone items (fax, voice, poll, SMS).  The command may also be placed in an FS Template file (.FST) for use in an FFBC launch.  Multiple commands may be supplied, and commands from System, Owner and Jobtype UJP files migrate to the job instance properties in the usual way.

The advantages of the launch-time do-not-send and white-list commands are described in the Configuration topic and an overview appears in Launch-Time Do-Not-Send Checking.

The parameters on this command are used as follows:

pathnameThe pathname of the lookup file to be used.  Currently supported file extensions are:
.NDXa character- or numeric-mode index file created and maintained by the PIN utility.
.TXTa list of entries to be matched
codeA code which will be used to override the default failure outcome code for matched items. The default value is 188. The code range 200-249 is suggested for custom outcome codes. If you use the override outcome code on the command, failed items will NOT be protected from accidental transmission if you ignore the warning and enter 'Z' on the JOBADMIN Resubmit Fail dialog.
EmptyOKA keyword which indicates that the index/list may be empty.  This suppresses the check that ensures that at least one entry has been loaded from the file. Failure to load any entries could be a symptom of a corrupted file.

Items matched in a $whitelist_phone specification in the same file will not be checked.

Matches against a numeric NDX file or any TXT file are performed after removal of any leading zeros in the item checked and in the list.

The NDX file may contain a positive numeric data value for each entry, and the TXT file may contain a positive numeric data value separated from the phone number by a single TAB character.  If present and greater than one the value will be saved as the value of a variable named DNS_DATA in the launched FS file.

When multiple commands are specified, items will be checked in the order of System, Owner and Jobtype entries and in the reverse sequence to that in which they appear in each file.  The outcome code reported will be that of the file in which the item was first matched, if specified.  In an FEB2 broadcast type (two list columns) a matched item will be rejected even if fax transmission was specified to occur second.

Default:  No launch-time checking will be performed.

Example:

$dns_phone  @FFBASE\dnsphone.ndx 200
