Body Report Program

Specifies the name of the procedure to execute to generate the body of the message. Procedures can be developed to extend the content of the e-mail to include such things as reports or other complex content.

Clicking a command button executes one of the following actions:

•	Add saves the new record to the database in the wpro_emev_master table. All required fields—indicated by alternate field color—must be populated prior to saving a record. Before saving, the system verifies that the record is unique and displays an error if it is not.

•	Cancel closes the window without adding the record.

Symbol Replacement

The e-mail subject and body use a symbol replacement feature. A symbol is a string of predefined text that is replaced when the e-mail is generated with the value that the symbol represents. Predefined symbols are listed in the screen legend.

The value for a symbol is only available in associated functions of QAD CSS. For example, generating an e-mail with the [@orderNum] symbol at the time of login will not produce an order number in the e‑mail content.
