I'm working on Allin1 Subscriber_add script, it write in the DDS
database the username spec., adding few commands I can write also the
SNLOCATION and SNUSERNAME, so when you add new Allin1 users you can
simply address them by name also from Memo (address translation
enabled). This work fine only if the username is less 8 characters
long, this is due to Allin1 Dds database mapping.
Well, the question is: There is a good reason to truncate 8 char long
the field SNUSERNAME?
Using a Memo addressing like 'vax.lonlongusername' it seem work well.
Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi,
The eight character limit is a restriction imposed by ALL-IN-1 in
consideration to MR/S. This is because the SNUSERNAME field is mapped
to the Sender DEN (Distribution Element Name) attribute on outgoing
MR/S messages, and the receiving SNADS/Disoss/whatever system won't
tolerate longer strings.
MEMO is a bit more tolerant. MEMO uses DGN.DEN addressing within itself
but external addressing is much more liberal, hence longer addresses
are accepted.
Also there is nothing in MBMAN that imposes this restriction (hint)
Maybe you can achieve what you want by altering the actual ALL-IN-1
Form/Script that performs the mapping, but that might take you into
unsupported-land as far as ALL-IN-1 is concerned. It would certainly
mean problems if you are intending to use MR/S as well, but MRMEMO and
MR/S are very seldom cohabitant. Anyway the question is better asked in
an ALL-IN-1 support conference.
cheers,
Stefan
