1829.0. "/RECOG in OAN$ADD$MEMBER form" by ADOVS9::SYMON (inFamy Soon) Sun Nov 22 1992 14:24

    /RECOG on the USERNAME field of form OAN$ADD$MEMBER finds only those
    users who are already conference members.  Then the username is
    validated to make sure it ISN'T already a member!
    
    Maybe it should have been
    
        /RECOG=<.IF OAN$MEMBER.%KEY[USERNAME] EQS "" THEN OA$VAL_SET_VALID
    
    or even nicer if it looked in PROFIL and NETWORK the way the validation
    does.

    Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't.
    
    The validation for USERNAME was changed extensively in V3.0. 
    Validation now makes attempts to find people in PROFIL and NETWORK as
    well as OAN$MEMBER (as you've pointed out).  RECOG, on the other hand,
    was left untouched (mostly because no-one had complained about it
    before).
    
    If you don't like it, change it, maybe even using the code you suggest
    in .0.  If you really think it should be change then please send in an
    SPR.
