The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, versions 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

PROFSIN.DAT FILE
----------------

When messages are sent through the Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and
OfficeVision, a temporary file called PROFSIN.DAT is created on the LAN side of
the Gateway. This is a text file that has been converted to EBCDIC; it is
unreadable in the PC environment.

PROFSIN.CSI FILE
----------------

PROFSIN.DAT is transferred by way of the Gateway's 3270 emulator to the host
environment, where it is renamed PROFSIN.CSI on the VMID's 191 A disk for the
host side of the Gateway.

PROFSIN.CSI FORMAT

  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  This is a test file. This is the format on the Host.

PROFSIN.CSI FIELDS
------------------

TO/FROM
-------

The TO token on line 1 shows the VM destination; the FROM token on line 2 shows
the MS mail sender.

TEXT
----

The TEXT token on line 8 shows the how many lines of text are in the message--the
count begins on the first line after the TEXT token.

ATTACHMENTS
-----------

If there are attachments (this example has none) each has one ATTACHMENT token on
the line preceding the TEXT token and containing the attachment's file name.
Attachment information starts on the line following the TEXT portion of the
message, and that is determined by the number of lines following the TEXT token.
In the example above, that number is 14 so the attachment would begin on the
15th line after the TEXT token.
