2942.0. "WP SEND problem - document in folder begins with space" by JIT081::USHIYAMA (Hey Gepette, Where'd you get to? ) Wed Jun 30 1993 10:20

	Hi,

	There is a problem WP Send. If you send document in folder which name
	begins with space and is in Non-mail drawer, the operation will fail.

	This problem occurs because MAIL GET function in WPSEND.SCP returns
	error status. And I found out in routine OA$EMD_GET(OAEMDF6.B32),
	the document name is trimed and cab current fails.

	Is it illegal to use folder name begins with space? 
	If not so, is it right to comment out this trimming?

Regards,
Katsuhiko

2942.1Do you really want it?IOSG::CARLINDick Carlin IOSG, Reading, EnglandWed Jun 30 1993 11:4117
    I haven't checked this completely, but my immediate comments are:
    
    A) It is legal to have folder names starting with space. Confusing -
    but legal. This is based on knowing the code rather than the
    documentation.
    
    B) I am willing to believe that there may be some places in the code
    where this is not honoured, like the example you found. Removing that
    trimming seems a good move, but it may only let you get through to the
    next problem area.
    
    C) If you have a folder name beginning with space then menu bypass is
    impacted, eg
    
    SEL  FOLDER1 will try and select "FOLDER1", not " FOLDER1"

	I think so, too. because I fear the modification causes another 
	problem, I asked it is right way or not.
   
	I'm a ALL-IN-1 Japanese developer and another engineer asked me about
	this problem (Her customer found this problem), so I will ask her
	that her customer really want to use folder name that begins with 
	space.
