Email Issues -- Retrieving Preferred Email Addresses


Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998
From: Larry Weaver

There is a new subroutine to retrieve a person's preferred email address from the PEOPLE.CONTACT.INFO file. The name of the subroutine is GET.PREF.EMAIL.ADDRESS. It has the same arguments as the GET.EMAIL.ADDRESS routine... (FILE.POINTER, PEOPLE.ID, ADDRESS) but the file pointer should be to PEOPLE.CONTACT.INFO instead of AIX.USERS.

Scott S. has informed me that preferred email address (PREFERRED.E-MAIL) in PEOPLE.CONTACT.INFO is where we should be getting email addresses from now on (rather than AIX.USERS). Please change any applications/screens/dictionaries/whatever that is currently using AIX.USERS to this file and field. Don't forget to make sure there is a filepoint in all the appropriate account vocs before making changes.
thanks
