340.0. "ILV for SET OF FullName" by COOKIE::KITTELL (Richard - Architected Info Mgmt) Fri Sep 21 1990 00:33

I've got a characteristic attribute called Members defined as SET OF Fullname. 
When I encode it into ILV for the response argument of a SET or SHOW FCL
displays it as:

                                Members = {  }%MCC-E-FULLNAME_ERROR, error in Fu
ll Name value

%MCC-E-FULLNAME_ERROR, error in Full Name value

Usually, when in doubt as to how to encode something into ILV I look at how
FCL encodes it to send it on a SET. But this time, even though the ILV I
send back is exactly what FCL sends me, the error message appears.

Here's the output from FCL logging. The command is
ADD Stor Mgmt Domain a members = {archive test}

    Rich,
    
    It is hard to tell from the dump exactly what is going on. Have
    you found anything else out?
    
    Also how are you creating the fullname, are you simply testing doing
    an ILV copy?
    
    

Jill,

Sorry, I thought I had updated this a couple of days ago. It turned out
FullName wasn't what I really needed anyway. What I was after was
   
     FullEntityName
         ------

aka AES. That is working fine.

So I'm not sure if there is really a problem here, or I was just misusing
the FullName datatype.

    In the future the best way to handle any of the DNS names is to
    use the mcc_dns_xxx routines. You will get documentation on these
    with the next release of the SRM.
    
    

  Re: .0

  I assumed that you wanted SET OF FullEntity as a data type.  However,
  trying exactly what you did was rather interesting.  It turns out that,
  although "archive test" is an invalid FullName, it parses anyway on input.
  On output the error was caught.  So, even though you did it just like FCL
  handled in_p, the Fullname value in in_p was bogus.  This is being QAR'ed.

  Anyway, I'm glad to hear that things worked well using FullEntity.
