X400: Invalid Routing Entry Syntax Causes PANIC Error, Exit

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

If you make an entry with invalid syntax in the Routing screen, and exit by using the OK button, you cannot re-enter the screen to change or modify any entries, and an assertion message with heading PANIC and the message "Token is 1" is displayed in a box. Pressing OK on this box or using the pull down menu (Close) exits the program.

Since you should use the Config utility to enter all data (that is, you should not edit ROUTE.CFG files manually) this prevents you from modifying or adding to the routing.

CAUSE

Error detection capabilities needed to be extended to deal with this circumstance.

RESOLUTION

Instead of being dropped out to an MS-DOS box after acknowledging the error message, you are allowed to continue with other configuration functions. These routing entries are accepted when there should be destination MTAs for the last two expressions:

   a=telecom.canada
     p=prmd  <MTA1>
     x121=123
     ua-id=xxx
