The “Mailmerge Templates” are an
addon tool for use by Clarion for
Windowsdevelopers. They add mailmerge functionality to
Clarion programs quickly and easily.
-
-
The
J&S Mailmerge Templates are simply the easiest way for Clarion
developers to integrate mailmerge capabilities into their
applications. No external word processors are
required.
-
Works on
standard STRING and MEMO fields.
-
Works on
standard Clarion reports.
-
Very
Easy to implement.
-
You (the
developer) have control over the DATA fields that your users will
have access to.
-
You (the
developer) can optionally allow the end user to create their own
mail merge tokens. You can either let them edit your merge token
file, or you can let them edit their own.
-
Has
support for non-English language modifications of the DLL
windows/prompts via an INI file. Even has a handy procedure for
creating the INI file.
Much more powerful that standard mailmerge
techniques!!!! With the J & S Memo Mail Merge templates, a
"TOKEN" is not limited to just data fields. It can represent
virtually any data, Clarion expression, or constant string. Below
are some samples. The possibilities are almost
endless:
-
-
The
token: "((--CustomerName--))" could represent a data field for a
customer name.
-
The
token: "((--TodaysDate--))" could represent a Clarion expression
such as "format( Today(), @d4 )" and would appear: January 26,
1997
-
The
token: "((--CityStateZIP--))" could represent a Clarion expression
such as "Clip(City) & ', ' & State & ' ' & ZIP" ,
and would appear: Riverside, CA 92509
-
The
token: "((--MyTagLine--))" could represent a standard signature
such as:
'Sincerely,
