X400: Longer-than-Maximum Address Map Values Displayed (115439)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.2
This article was previously published under Q115439 SUMMARY
If you use an editor to create an address map with more input than the
X.400 Gateway field maximum length, then:
- X400CMAP the address file
- start X400ADM.EXE
- select Customized Mapping
- select the map
every field can display more characters than its maximum field length.
For example:
MSM:NETWORK003x/POSTOFFICEx/MAILBOX001x x400:c=CAx;a=16character_Admdx
System software is lenient when validating input, in order to accommodate
values already existing in operating gateway systems. For instance, if your
system has a five-character country code, its values are "incorrect" in a
four-character maximum system. The utility allows the five-character
values to be retained, but allows you only to shorten it--you can't change
it to another five-character (or longer) expression. You could, in such an
instance, go through and change all the values to four characters, but if
the code is already in place and it works, it's more sensible to leave it
than to attempt to "fix" it, possibly disrupting things unacceptably.
