5.28.3 SET
This command is used to prepare the email and can be called many times with one or more keywords to build up the email definition before it is sent. (This is especially useful in RDML where the command length is limited to 256 characters).
The SET keyword must be used before the SEND keyword.
Comments / Warnings
Any keyword values set up using the SET command will be overridden by use of the equivalent keyword on the SEND command.

Alternatively, this value may be specified on the SEND command A FROM email address must be supplied to SEND an email. |
|
FROM_NAME |
Value |
Indicates a text name to be displayed as the "from" email display name. If a name is not supplied the FROM email address will be displayed.

This is the password used to login to the SMTP server. The password may be case sensitive depending on the SMTP server. |
|
MAILDOMAIN |
domain name |
The MAILDOMAIN property is typically configured in the SMTPMailService properties file. This is the mail domain issued by the SMTP HELO subcommand to identify the server initiating the mail transaction. |
|
NTLMDOMAIN |
domain name |
This is the NTLM domain for NTLM authentication. The NTLMDOMAIN property is typically configured in the SMTPMailService properties file. |
|
CHARSET |
Value |
The character set encoding to be applied to body text and the subject. The default value applied is iso-8859-1. The CHARSET property is typically configured in the SMTPMailService properties file. |
|
SIMPLIFY |
*YES |
Simplify a multipart plain text message into a simple plain text message. |
|
*NO |
Default. |
||
HEADER |
*NONE |
The *NONE value clears the all headers. |
|
*LIST |
The *LIST value is used supply a list of name values. The first field is the field and the second field is the value. This allows MIME header fields to be sent with the message. |
||
CONTENT |
*NONE |
Clear all three text messages. |
|
*PLAIN |
Default. Create text/plain content. |
||
*HTML |
Create text/html content. |
||
mimetype |
This allows up to three multipart/alternative text messages to be sent. The MIME type value creates the custom content, that is, text/enriched. See SEND command on how to create the body text from the working list argument. |
||
BODY |
value |
A file can be nominated to contain the body text. If the specified file does not exist, the body text is created from the service list argument if it is provided. If the BODY keyword is used any reference to a working list is ignored as the body text is taken from the file and converted to Unicode using the ENCODING keyword value. |
|
ENCODING |
value |
Used to specify what encoding must be applied to the byte content to convert it to a Unicode string. The default value is *DEFAULT. Refer to ENCODING for more information. |
|
CLIENT.ID |
Value |
The client_id is a public identifier for apps. Even though it’s public, it’s best that it isn’t guessable by third parties, so many implementations use something like a 32-character hex string. Ex- Foursquare: ZYDPLLBWSK3MVQJSIYHB1OR2JXCY0X2C5UJ2QAR2MAAIT5Q |
|
CLIENT.SECRET |
Value |
The client_secret is a secret known only to the application and the authorization server. It is essential the application’s own password. It must be sufficiently random to not be guessable, which means you should avoid using common UUID libraries which often take into account the timestamp or MAC address of the server generating it. Ex - A great way to generate a secure secret is to use a cryptographically-secure library to generate a 256-bit value and then convert it to a hexadecimal representation. In PHP, you can use the random_bytes function and convert to a hex string: bin2hex(random_bytes(32)); Lq08Q~EtgN-BpoINX6msRD9GL_cCx |
|
AUTH.TOKEN.ENDPOINT |
value |
Token endpoint is used by the application in order to get an access token or a refresh token. It is used by all flows except for the Implicit Flow because in that case an access token is issued directly. Ex -https://login.microsoftonline.com/5c951c05-0f75-44ef-6223f150a449/oauth2/v2.0/token |
|
AUTH.SCOPE |
Value |
Scope is a way to limit an app’s access to a user’s data. Rather than granting complete access to a user’s account, it is often useful to give apps a way to request a more limited scope of what they are allowed to do on behalf of a user. Ex- https://outlook.office365.com/.default |
|
TOKEN.CACHE |
Value |
This is a boolean parameter to save the token at the mentioned directory. It can have two values- true or false. Ex - Token.cache = true In this case generated token will be saved at the path mentioned in Token.cache.dir parameter. |
|
TOKEN.CACHE.DIR |
Value |
It is a directory where user wants to save the token while caching. Ex- C:\Program Files (x86)\LANSA\dummy |
|
SESSION.DEBUG |
Value |
Enable session debugging to display debugging messages in the user interface. Ex- true or false |
|
RECIPIENT.CERTIFICATE.{TOADDRESS} |
