Submit Queue via Named Pipe

This option allows the user to write directly to FormTrap Server using a pipe in place of a file, either directly from a suitable application program or by using command line Copy statement. A "suitable" application program will generally be a command line application, writing to "standard output device".

FormTrap Server generates the pipe \\.\pipe\Queue_Name for users to send the data into. "." (dot) in the pipe refers to the current machine (on which FormTrap Server is running).

For example, with FormTrap Server installed on machine B with "pipe" in force to queue name "Sample_Queue", FormTrap generates this pipe: \\.\pipe\Sample_Queue.

To write to this pipe from Machine A, this is the pipe statement: \\MachineBName\pipe\Sample_Queue.
