Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

• Set up the address number of the distribution list in Address Book. Assign search type M (Mail Distribution List) to the distribution list when you add the distribution list to the Address Book.

• Make sure that all members that you want to include in the distribution list are entered into the Address Book.

• Set up a structure type using the User Defined Codes (P0004A) program. It is recommended that you set up a new structure type for each distribution list that uses hierarchical processing. Structure types are added to UDC 01/TS.

• Understand the two ways in which distribution lists can be processed and decide which type of processing you want to use (group processing or hierarchical processing). This choice will determine how you will create the distribution list.
