3 P_SMITH 100 Pending
3 FAX server queue entries

After we submitted the command file, we did an initial display of our queue, which was empty. Next, we
issued three SEND commands to three different numbers, followed by another SHOW QUEUE, which
shows the first fax in the process of being converted and the other two faxes are pending, waiting for the fax
to finish being converted. This display verifies that all three faxes have been submitted.

Next week, you can just create a new version of the REPORT.TXT file and then use the same command file
again to send the next weekly report. Instead of a DCL command file, you can create a CompuFax command
file, say REPORT_SEND.FAX_CMD, which you can execute from the FAX> prompt:

SHOW QUEUE
SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-213-428-5253
SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-512-953-2605
SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-805-206-9210
SHOW QUEUE

See the following section for a usage example.

4.2 The VERIFY Command

The VERIFY command makes it possible to display the CompuFax commands when executing command
files from within CompuFax. It works the same as the SET VERIFY command in DCL. Using the sample
command file from the previous section, the example below illustrates this:

FAX> VERIFY ON
Verify is enabled.
FAX> @REPORT_SEN D.FAX_CMD
SHOW QUEUE

SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-213-428-5253
SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-512-953-2605
SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-805-206-9210
SHOW QUEUE

Conversion queue:

4 P_SMITH 100 Pending
5 P_SMITH 100 Pending

To disable the CompuFax verify option, issue the VERIFY OFF command from within CompuFax.
