---++ Define a .DOT code to pass the shipmentID
   * How you can pass the shipmentID to a .DOT code is found at Backoffice -> Disptach -> Dot Codes: click edit button or "add new code" button.<br><br><A HREF="%ATTACHURL%/dotcodes03.gif"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/dotcodes03.gif" title="Dotcode with shipmentID(click to enlarge)" width="400"></A><br>(click to enlarge)<br><br> 
   * 1. We used 'BJ' here (Begin Job) but you can use any arbitrary code you like.
   * 2. in this example it is not logic to define this as astanderd action. 
   * 3. This 'Yes' tells the system that the number directly following the .BJ code is a shipmentID.<br>
     The shipmentID will be remembered by the system as being the 'Active Shipment' for this driver.<br>
     All following messages will be registered to the same shipmentID until the driver sends a new .BJ message.
   * 4. Description of this action.

_Note:_ <br>
   * Every driver may combine several messages into one SMS message.
   * The .BJ and the .DOK for instance might be typed together into one SMS message like this:<br>
     .BJ 1000454 .DOK
   * Both messages might be sent separately, but that will cost two SMS messages in stead of one.
   * There is no difference between upper and lowercase letters.<br>
     For example this is the same message as the message above:<br>  
     .Bj 1000454 .doK
   * Spaces may be left out, again this is the same message:<br>
     .Bj1000454.doK
   * Leading dots (.) may be left out (the first characters of a message are always interpreted as a .DOT code):<br>
     Bj1000454.doK (Do not leave out any succeeding dots, these are used to detect additional .DOT codes in the same message).

Also read [[DotcodesActions][define one or more actions connected to .DOT codes]].
