Creates a response document containing a reference to the main document.

Note This @command is new with Release 6.

Syntax

@Command([ComposeWithReference]; server : database ; form ; flags)

Parameters

server : database

Text list. The name of the server and database where you want to create the document. Null for server means the local Domino or Notes directory; must be null on the Web. Null for server and database means the current database.

Text. The name of the form you want to use when creating the new document. This form must contain a rich text or rich text lite field named "Body."

Number. Optional. One or more of the following reference attributes. Combine attributes by adding them. Defaults to flags 3 plus 4. You must supply this parameter in Web applications.
• 0 -- includes Body in a collapsible section (flags 3 plus 4, the default). Cannot be combined with other flags. Does not work on Web.
• 1 -- Includes a reference to the main document. Cannot be combined with other flags. Does not work on Web.
• 2 -- Includes no history. Cannot be combined with other flags.
• 3 -- Includes the Body of the main document. Can be combined with the flags that follow.
• 4 -- Puts the Body of the main document in a collapsible section. Does not work on Web.
• 8 -- Includes Body as an Internet-style copy of the main document, with a "So-and-so wrote on ..." header and each line prefixed by a greater-than sign. Requires flag value 2. Implicitly applies flag 16. Does not work on Web.
• 16 -- Removes attachments, images, and other large objects from the reference copy, replacing them (except on the Web) with text statements in brackets.
• 32 -- For databases that contain a $ForwardSep subform (as exists in the Release 6 mail template), prefixes the reference copy with a forward separator. Does not work on Web.

When composing a response document, make sure a database is open and a document is already selected at the view level.

If this command is used in a view action, the form formula of the view will override the form specified in the @command. To avoid this problem add the following line to the form formula of the view:

@If(@IsNewDoc; @Return(Form); "")

For information about form formulas, see "Form Formulas" in "Programming Overview."
