50.0. "Double names in X.400 PRMD and ORG fields ?" by EEMELI::ALADIN () Mon Sep 17 1990 13:39

    
    Hey !
    
    One customer to me told, they had following kind of a problem
    when sending mail from MEMO to X.400 via MRMEMO.
    They are using the old 2.0 version of the MRMEMO server SW.
    
    They have done DEFINE/REPLACE for characters @ (VAX) --> .. (MEMO)
    and ' ' (VAX) --> + (MEMO).
    It works alright for the name part of the addresses but if the
    X.400 organization part for example includes a two part name
    then it doesn't work.
    
    E.g. @org=NOKIA DATA (from memo NOKIA+DATA)
    The + character will be forwarded to X.400, which will followingly not
    find this organization.
    
    Has somebody noticed this kind of a problem ? Does the MRMEMO
    software support this type of double names in X.400 PRMD and ORG fields
    ?
    
    Thanks in advance

50.1Wait for V2.1STKHLM::OLSSONAnders Olsson, LEG SwedenMon Sep 17 1990 14:2420
    Hello Jan-Erik!

    You say:

.0> They are using the old 2.0 version of the MRMEMO server SW.

    and

.0> It works alright for the name part of the addresses...

    Is it really 2.0 they are using? It shouldn't work even in the name part
    in 2.0 but it was fixed in 2.0A (see note 48.*).

    Unfortunately, the fix in V2.0A only affected freeform names immediately
    following the server prefix. When spaces (i.e. a replacement sequence)
    occur in other places, it doesn't work until MRMEMO V2.1. In V2.1,
    replacement sequence handling will be improved to avoid this kind of
    problems.

50.2Yes, they are using 2.0AEEMELI::ALADINMon Sep 17 1990 20:3013
    
    HEY !
    	Yes, you are sure right, that they are using v 2.0A.
    	All because my collegue is away from the office I'm not
    	totally aware of the version numbers that our customer are using.
    
    	Thank's for the quick answer! Sorry to bother you, I should have
        seen  the answer in note 48.
    
    	Bye
