ParametersQualifiersExamples

 file-spec

  Specifies the name of the  output  file  to  which  the  message  is
  copied.  The default file type is TXT.

Additional information available:

/APPEND/ALL/NOHEADER/MAIL

 /APPEND

 Adds the selected message to the end of the specified file.   If  the
  file  does  not  exist,  it  is  created.   When  you do not specify
  /APPEND, MAIL creates a new sequential file.

 /ALL

 Copies all the currently selected messages  to  the  specified  file.
  Each message will be separated by a form feed.

 /NOHEADER

 Removes the header information (To:  From:  Subject:) from  the  mail
  message.

 /MAIL

 Specifies that the output file be a sequential mail file with a default
  file type of MAI, and a protection code of (S:RW,O:RW,G,W).  By default,
  the device and directory will match those of your mail file directory.
  Like /APPEND, /MAIL adds the selected message to the end of the specified
  file, and will create the file if it does not exist.
