Merge values in cover sheets allow users to automatically insert certain variable components
into outgoing messages without typing them in each time. When you create a new cover sheet
in TCfW, you can insert merge values (variables) into it by enclosing specific abbreviations
defined in TCfW within dollar signs ($). If you were to type the following permanent text
components and merge values into a cover sheet you are creating:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attn: $Name__________________$Date: $Date1_$Time: $Time1$
Number of pages including cover sheet: $EPg$
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To:

$To<$Name$, $Comp$, $Dept$>

cc:

$cc<$Name$, $Comp$, $Dept$>

From:

$UComp$, $UDept$, $UName$

Subject: $ERef$

The result would look as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attn: Hans Meyer

Date: 950530 Time: 15:45:24

Number of pages including cover sheet: 4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To:

John Smith, ACME Ltd., Export

cc:

Hans Meyer, Export International PLC., Contracts

Peter Best, Best Company & Co., Sales

From:

Best Company & Co., Marketing, Johnny Fast

Subject:

The Deal of the Year

If the syntax $xxx$ of the merge value is used, the actual length of the converted merge value
depends on the length of the variable represented by the merge value. If the form
$xxx______$ is used, the length including the $ signs is fixed. Merge values that are too long
are automatically truncated in such fields.

The following merge values are taken from the recipient information of the message header:

$SNam$

short name of the recipient

$Comp$

company of the recipient

$Dept$

department of the recipient

$Name$

full name of the recipient

$Sal$

salutation of the recipient

$Txt$

free text (comment)

$To<$Sal$ $Name$>

produces a list of all To: receivers.

$Cc<$Sal$ $Name$>

produces a list of all cc: receivers.

$to<…> or $cc<…>

as $To.. or $Cc.. but distribution lists are shown as a single line
with the $Name$ etc. fields taken from the distribution list

$AddnXXXX$

address part-n of service XXXX (n=0 all parts in one string)
e.g.: $Add0FAX$, $Add1TELEX$, $Add2TELEX$
$Add1LETTER$ .. $Add6Letter
NOTE: Only the first alternate of each service is used

$L1anystring$

is converted to ―anystring‖ in the first entry of a recipient list but
does not appear in all other entries.

$L2anystring$

does not appear in the first entry of a recipient list, but is
converted to ―anystring‖ in all other entries
