441.0. "Truncating SUBID when using US SPD" by KERNEL::COOPER (Suzanne Cooper UK Customer Support (833)3502) Wed Apr 08 1992 19:06

    
    I've done a quick search in the various old ALL-IN-1 Conferences and
    cannot find anything that may answer my question.
    
    In MBMAN you can add a SUBID to a maximum length of 50 chars, when an
    ALL-IN-1 User uses US SPD to change any details the SUBID field in
    MBMAN gets truncated to 20 characters.  ALL-IN-1 doesn't appear to
    directly address this field via any entry forms (at this point) so why 
    does it remap the field and truncate it to 20 chars.

441.1It's in the DSAB I think (:==:)AIMTEC::WICKS_AVote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USAWed Apr 08 1992 19:2212
    Suzanne,
    
    So how's life in Basingtoke - ready for DIAMOND?
    
    The field SUBID maps to SUBSCRIBER.UNIQID which is 20 characters long
    
    of course I know nothing about this stuff i'm just quoting from
    Sir David Hare's document on DDS and ALL-IN-1

    But the field is 50 characters long in MBMAN and even if you don't use
    it the data in MBMAN gets truncated to 20 chars

441.3My excuse - I followed the bookAIMTEC::WICKS_AVote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USAThu Apr 09 1992 18:0615
    Suzanne,
    
    But the field in DDS as defined in the "Implementors Guide to DDS"
    page 53 defined DDS$K_A_UNIQID as 20 characters so all the Useragents
    that used the callable interface specified it that way (check out the
    X.400 Mail Products). I don't feel even the slightest bit responsible
    for MBMAN.... (:==:)
    ... and ELF defines the field as 6 characters!
    
    So I guess it's SPR time?
