Could someone explain the restriction introduced in ALL-IN-1 V3.0 by
OAN$ADD$MEMBER.FRM that the "username" field cannot contain quotes or
apostrophes? This did not appear to be a restriction in V2.4. There
must be a number of names like "O'Conner, O'Hara, O'Leary," etc. out
there...
Thanks!
Susan

I can't remember the exact details but there were changes made in this
area to solve some problems that had been reported. However, I am
pretty sure that names like these were tested... Must have been a bad
night! Have you tried with 3.0-1?

| 2777.2 | No apostrophes in GPC AM USERNAME (V3.0-1) | OASS::ADAMS_S | Thu Jun 03 1993 19:41 | 27 | |
These are my findings under V3.0-1 so far. I have requested feedback
from an ALL-IN-1 support specialist to make sure I did not leave
anything out or do anything wrong, but 'believe this to be accurate.
I created an account in ALL-IN-1 on AMERIG called O'HARE but am not
sure I entered the correct account details. I completed the test
enough to learn that when you attempt to add a member in GPC with a
username containing an apostrophe, you will get the message
"Usernames cannot contain quotation marks"
but it appeared to add the member anyway, i.e., it was listed
when I did ICM. When I added the member it also gave me the message
"access name AMERIG::ADAMS_S already exists for another member."
I tried to add another member with username O'LEARY, and it gave
me the "Usernames cannot contain quotation marks" message again but
would NOT let me go further.
At any rate, the original problem noted in 2777.0 appears to still be a
problem in V3.0-1. Should I submit an elevation on this or is there
already an "SPR" for it?
Thanks.

| 2777.3 | NOTES problem? | IOSG::MAURICE | Night rolls in, my dark companion | Fri Jun 04 1993 09:12 | 11 |
Hi,
I looked back to find where and why this changed was made in V3.0.
Apparently it was put in because NOTES did not work in all cases if the
member name contained a quote. In particular FORWARD/MEMBERS was cited
as something that didn't work. Since you have managed to add such a
member, could you check whether this is still a problem with NOTES.
Cheers

| 2777.4 | apostrophes in usernames | OASS::ADAMS_S | Mon Sep 27 1993 19:28 | 9 | |
Could someone out there please reply to this inquiry again? The
apostrophe restriction applies under ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1 as well as V3.0.
Are there plans to correct this? Is this not a fairly common problem
or are people just working around it by leaving the apostrophe out of
names?
Thank you...
