surname portion of the personal name attribute. Node name and suffix

Basic Steps for Sending an
X400 Message
The basic steps for sending a package to an X400 recipient are very similar to the steps
described in Section 9, “Designing and Writing a Client,” for sending a package to a
TRANSFER recipient; the main difference is that you use the ADD-X400-RECIP UOW
to add X400 recipients. The minimum steps to create and submit an X400 mail
package are listed below by UOW:
1. START-SESSION. Establish TRANSFER context.
2. CREATE-ITEM. Create an item. Set IS-PKG-HDR to Y. To create a mail message,
set ITEM-TYPE to a number from 109 (original mail package) to 114. This step
also creates a default item descriptor. (To create a nonmail message, select an item
type other than 109 through 114.)
3. ADD-ITEM-REC (Optional.) Add item data records for the message text. Data
records have a record type of 120. To add a subject field, add a record with record
type 115.
4. ADD-X400-RECIP. Add recipients to the package. You can also add TRANSFER
recipients to the package with the ADD-RECIP UOW.
5. SUBMIT-PKG. Submit the package to the TRANSFER delivery system.
6. END-SESSION. Formally end the session. Otherwise, the session will expire
later.
