Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : SET : SET ADDRESS

SET (continued)

SET ADDRESS <address name >

You can request that the results of an ORDER or PRINT command be sent to an alternate address that you create with the EDIT ADDRESS command. You can specify an alternate address in one of two ways:

1. You can include the ADDRESS (abbreviated ADDR) specification in your ORDER or PRINT command (e.g., ORDER TSDOC ADDR ABSMITH or PRINT S1/5/ALL ADDR MDARCY). (See PRINT ADDR.)

2. You can use the SET ADDRESS command (e.g., SET ADDRESS JONES1) at the beginning of your search session to specify that the results of all subsequent PRINT and ORDER commands be directed to that address. The advantage to this command is that you can denote an alternate address to use for a delivery type, such as email, in your PRINT or ORDER commands.

When you enter SET ADDRESS followed by the address name of an address you have created with the EDIT ADDRESS command, the system displays the address name you have specified and the delivery type. The results of all subsequent PRINT and ORDER commands ordered through that delivery method will be sent to the specified address until you cancel it.

You can set one address for each delivery type: email, postal, and FTP. Using SET ADDRESS with an alternate postal address will direct subsequent PRINT and ORDER commands to that postal address. To request prints delivered to a non-postal address that has been entered using SET ADDRESS, include VIA EMAIL in the PRINT command as shown on the next page. (For Alert PRINT commands to be delivered to an FTP address, use VIA FTP. Regular prints may not be delivered via FTP.)

Canceling an Alternate Address

You can cancel an alternate address that you have specified with SET ADDRESS in a search session by entering SET ADDRESS (or SET ADDR) <delivery type> without specifying an address name, e.g., SET ADDRESS EMAIL. Delivery types are EMAIL, POSTAL and FTP.

To delete an address that is stored on the Dialog system, use the RELEASE command.

Caution: Before you RELEASE a stored address, make sure that it is not used in a Dialog Alert profile or stored in a SearchSave.

Note: You can use the SHOW ADDRESS or SHOW ADDRESS DETAIL command to display the address that is currently SET. Use RECALL ADDRESS to display the delivery addresses you have stored on the Dialog system.

Usage Notes

DialogClassic, DialogWeb-Command: When entering the SET ADDRESS command the system displays the full address details and prompts for a confirmation to which you respond y.
