Control Outbound Processing Status-1
$fax_status1 status [channo]
This command identifies the current processing status of the outbound fax, voice or e-mail transmission.
The parameters on this command are used as follows:
| status | a numeric status value as follows: |
0 - awaiting pre-processing
1 - preprocessing in progress (set by pre-process)
2 - ready for transmission
3 - transmission in progress
4 - awaiting post-processing
5 - post-processing in progress (set by post-process)
6 - completed
| channo | the channel processing the file (recorded in status 3 only). A status can be left at 3 if for example the power fails during a transmission, and having the active channel present allows such files to be recognized and moved to the FAIL directory (with a $fax_status2 value of 66). Without the channel number it would be impossible to distinguish such a file from one relating to a real transmission actually in progress on a channel controlled by another node. |
Note that status values 0, 1, 4 and 5 apply only to $fax_pre-process and $fax_post-process keywords EXTERNAL and INTERNAL. These keywords remain available for legacy applications but the INFOBOX keywords are now recommended for new applications. INFOBOX pre- and post- processing is performed automatically before and after transmission and do not depend on this status value.
CopiaFacts never writes FS files in a TOSENDx folder with status value 6. When a value of 6 is read from a file in a TOSENDx folder, other than a Job Administration FS file, it is treated as if it was a value of 2. This allows a further transmission attempt to be initiated by manually moving an FS file from SENT or FAIL back to a TOSENDx folder. Wherever possible, however, a retry should be initiated from the STATUS program, rather than by dragging an FS file. Job Administration FS files should only be manually retried using Job Administration functions.
Default: 2 (ready for transmission)
Example:
$fax_status1 2
