Steve, You might consider having PROPSCAN's PROFILE EXEC check for and handle existing RDR files before it starts PROP, otherwise existing RDR files will have to wait for a new file to arrive to trigger the EXEC that handles them all.

A problem is that when a RDR file arrives when the PROP machine would not be active, your action routine will not see the RDR file. Therefore, an action routine for RDR files should be able to handle more than 1 file sitting in the reader. This way, when a new file arrives it will handle all files it didn't see yet. For this reason, a server that uses WAKEUP (RDR is better suited. WAKEUP will wake up when new files arrive as well as when old files are waiting in the RDR queue. Have a look at my RxSERVER package on VM's download lib. The stanbard code we deliver will react to RDR files, and will check authority etc. For special handling ( i.e. more than simply receiving it on the A-disk) you have to insert some REXX lines at the provided exit points. 2007/4/9, Tom Duerbusch < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >: I wasn't aware that PROP will act upon something being delivered in the reader queue. It likes messages, not queue elements. The only thing I can think of, is to route the rdr queue elements to another service machine (with wakeup rdr specified), and have it process the reader entry and msg the prop server with the contents.

I've done some reading in the manual and have looked at some existing code but no luck. What I want to accomplish is to send an e-mail to a userid called PROPSCAN ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ) The message gets sent to our VM SMTP server with no problem and SMTP then sends it/delivers it/routes it to PROPSCAN's RDR and there it sits. In the RTABLE for PROPSCAN I have it coded such that anything come from SMTP will start an EXEC. The EXEC will then parse that RDR file and I'll take appropriate actions based on key words I'm looking for. Is this doable? If so, what have I missed?
