---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 03 Sep 1997 14:09:49 -0500 From: "L-Soft list server at North Dakota HECN (1.8c)" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Output of your job "DBlook" The DATABASE command has not yet been ported to this environment. The above was forwarded to me as a result of a com file created. first, what does this mean and two, is there anything wrong in my code? the code: $ ! To execute this file enter <@BIGLIST topic> at the command line $ ! prompt. Replace "topic" with your search key. If the name of this $ ! file is something other that BIGLIST.COM enter that name. You may $ ! eliminate the "@" by defining the following (without the !) in your $ ! LOGIN.COM $ ! biglist =="@biglist" $ put = "WRITE OUTPUT" ! put is a synonym for WRITE OUTPUT $ OPEN/WRITE OUTPUT biglist.tmp $ PUT "//DBlook JOB Echo=No" $ PUT "Database Search DD=Rules" $ PUT "//Rules DD *" $ PUT "Select ''P1' in lists" $ PUT "index" $ PUT "Select ''P1' in intgroup" $ PUT "index" $ PUT "Select ''P1' in new-list" $ PUT "index" $ PUT "/*" $ PUT "// EOJ" $ CLOSE OUTPUT $ ! Create a file LISTSERV.DIS that contains the mailing address of $ ! a LISTSERV that provides the database service, such as: $ ! pony%"[log in to unmask]" (ndsuvm1 if you're on bitnet) $ ! NOTE - use the mailer that is normally required on your VAX system. $ ! If you want a copy of the message sent to yourself put your address $ ! in the file as well as the LISTSERV address $ MAIL biglist.tmp "@Dka400:[NYSERNET]listserv" $ DELETE/NOCONFIRM biglist.tmp;* [End of file] I am trying to set up in my menu a com file that contacts [log in to unmask] to mail a list of all existing listservs to the users account. does any one out there have any ideas?
