Your Company 8080 Micro St. Silicon, CA 93002 (213) 555-1234 John J. Jones Micro Enterprises 1234 Chip Road Silicon, CA 90002 Dear Mr. Jones This is the body of a form letter. It was first written with a word processor and then modified to become a command file. The modifications are: placement of question marks at the beginning of each line and enclosing the text in single quotes or square brackets. In this way, each line of text is written to the ALTERNATE file by means of the SET ALTERNATE commands in MAILLTTR.CMD (which calls this command file). The text of the letter can be altered based on the database data fields. For instance, if the content of the letter should change for different states, then this condition can be checked and the appropriate action can be taken. Yours truly Mike R. O.
