Other Member Settings

To change any field in your members table, use the setfield(fieldname=value) option. The syntax for this command is:

set listname setfield(fieldname=value)

For example, you may have added a field to your members table to record members' phone numbers, called phone. If you're currently subscribed to jazztalk and you'd like to change your phone number, you'd send the command:

set jazztalk setfield(phone=800-768-2929)

To set a value with spaces, use quotation marks. For example, if your database had a field for a user's complete address, called address, it could be set like so:

set listname setfield(address="2070 Allston Way Berkeley, CA 94704")

This command is useful if you're using an email message to the server to add people to the list with additional information by using the become command.

Note that the field is case sensitive. For example, userid_ would fail, as the correct field name is UserID_.
