X400: X400ADM.EXE Crashes to MS-DOS, Database Is Corrupted (115362)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.2
This article was previously published under Q115362 SYMPTOMS
If you start X400ADM.EXE, select the Local MTA button, enter a name and
put a period and a comma at the end of the name, then enter the Country
Code and Admd Name and select OK, the program crashes to MS-DOS with the
message:
Path not found in line 0 of module LOCALMTA at address 9B84:06DA
If you restart X400ADM.EXE and select the Local MTA button, you see that
the database is corrupted:
- the Country Code entry is in the Admd Name field
- the Admd Name entry is moved to the Prmd Name field
- the MTA's (name) entry is gone from the OUTGOING subdirectory
CAUSE
The comma is not a valid Name field character because the program
interprets commas as separators--in this case for the Name and Password
fields. For example:
MTA01,,,us, ATTMAIL,
When this happens the data in the Country Code and Admd Name fields is
displayed in the next field down (Country Code to Admd Name; Admd Name to
Prmd Name).
RESOLUTION
Remove commas from MTA field entries.
The failure is most spectacular in the MTA name, but a comma causes the
same confusion in any MTA information field, since the underlying data
file is delimited with commas.
