Examples of LISTSERV Commands to use the SUPPORT database from non-VM systems
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The jobs should be sent inside a RFC822-formatted mail to [log in to unmask]
 
 
1. CREATE an entry in the SUPPORT database:
-------------------------------------------
 
        //Support JOB Echo={yes|no}
        $SUPPORT CREATE DD=Text TYPE=type SEV=sev <REL=rel>
        //Text DD *,EOF
       abs
       name
        .
        .   text
        .
 
abs  - One-line abstract
 
name - Your name in real life, without network address
 
type - Type of entry, may be of the following
 
                      PROB - Problem (bug, unexpected behaviour, etc)
                      QUES - Question
                      SUGG - Suggestion for future enhancement
 
sev  - Severity
 
       If type=PROB
                    1 - LISTSERV crashes, will not start, enters a loop,
                        data destroyed/lost, etc.
                    2 - Major error in command/list keyword/filelist option
                        handling, etc.
                    3 - Minor error in command/list keyword/filelist option
                        handling, etc.
                    4 - Spelling error in a message, documentation error, etc.
 
       If type=QUES
                    1 - I cannot install/use LISTSERV until my question is
                        answered.
                    2 - It is important for me to get the answer in a reasonable
                        time scale
                    3 - I would need the reply in less than one week,
                        if possible.
                    4 - I am in no hurry, just reply when you have time.
 
       If type=SUGG
                    1 - My installation will not be able to take advantage of
                        the LISTSERV functions until the suggestion is
                        implemented.
                    2 - My installation would highly benefit from the
                        implementation of this suggestion, although we could
                        live without it.
                    3 - This is a relatively minor suggestion, but we would
                        definitely like to see it implemented.
                    4 - This is just food for thought.
 
rel  - Release and fix level of LISTSERV to which this entry applies,
       Suggested formats are "1.5n", "1.5n (FIX15N2)", "1.5m and above", etc.'
 
 
 
2. APPEND to an existing entry:
-------------------------------
 
        //Support JOB Echo={yes|no}
        $SUPPORT APPEND id DD=Text
        //Text DD *,EOF
        name
        .
        .   text
        .
 
id   - Identifying number assigned to entry at creation
 
name - Your name in real life, without network address
 
-- End --
