X400: Longer-than-Maximum Address Map Values Displayed

ID: Q115439

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2

SUMMARY

If you use an editor to create an address map with more input than the X.400 Gateway field maximum length, then:

X400CMAP the address file

start X400ADM.EXE

select Customized Mapping

select the map

every field can display more characters than its maximum field length.

For example:

MSM:NETWORK003x/POSTOFFICEx/MAILBOX001x x400:c=CAx;a=16character_Admdx

System software is lenient when validating input, in order to accommodate values already existing in operating gateway systems. For instance, if your system has a five-character country code, its values are "incorrect" in a four-character maximum system. The utility allows the five-character values to be retained, but allows you only to shorten it--you can't change it to another five-character (or longer) expression. You could, in such an instance, go through and change all the values to four characters, but if the code is already in place and it works, it's more sensible to leave it than to attempt to "fix" it, possibly disrupting things unacceptably.
