Component Types The COMPNT-TYPE field has two possible values, as Table A-6 indicates.

Component Type Value in COMPNT-TYPE Field
Undefined/Default 0
In-reference-to-package 100
The client searches the component list of a package with ITEM-TYPE 110 or 111
for a component with COMPNT-TYPE 100. This entry indicates the package being
replied to or forwarded. Data records are not copied to the new package; only the
component list for the package is copied. Thus, if an application places additional
records in the package header, the client does not preserve those records in the newly
made package.
External Objects For external object attachments, Tandem clients treat the first two bytes of the
USER-VALUES field as a single integer (a reserved value) that normally specifies the
item type of the item to which the object is attached. This is the same value that would
appear in the ITEM-TYPE field of the item descriptor if the external object were an
item stored in the TRANSFER database. For instance, for an external object containing
PC data, the first two bytes of USER-VALUES are set to 131, the value reserved by
Tandem to indicate that type of data.
OUTLOG Folder Tandem PS MAIL clients save a copy of each submitted package in the
correspondent's OUTLOG folder. Your application should also do this if consistency
with Tandem PS MAIL clients is desired.
