NAME

Net::Gnats::Command::APPN

DESCRIPTION

The APPN command appends to the contents of field in PR with the supplied text.

When first issued, it returns a 212 (CODE_SEND_TEXT). The client should then transmit the new field contents using the standard PR quoting mechanism. After the server has read the new contents, it then attempts to make the requested change to the PR.

The command returns a 210 (CODE_OK) when it does not require a Change Reason.

When the command returns a 213 () it expects a Change Reason. The Change Reason is a multiText value. After successful submit of the Change Reason, it returns a 210 (CODE_OK).

PROTOCOL

When making a change that does not require a change reason:

  APPN <pr> <field>
  <-- 212
  <change>
  <-- 210

When making a change that requires a change reason:

  APPN <pr> <field>
  <-- 212
  <change>
  <-- 213
  <change reason>
  <-- 210
