1944.0. "Printing from Index with short username." by STKHLM::LUNDSTEDT () Fri Dec 11 1992 11:56

    
    Hello,
    
    I have a customer who's got a random error:
    (v2.4)
    He's got accounts with username consisting of only 1 or 2 letters.
    (This doesn't happen on accounts with longer username!!).
    When these are printing (not always though) from the Index menu they
    receive an message saying that: Too many parameters.
    This could be because a file is created with blanks in the name since 
    the username is so short. He says that this was fixed in an earlier 
    version and came back with 2.4 but this time only from the Index menu.
    I haven't been able to reproduce this myself. 
    Has anybody seen this before and is it different in 3.0??
    
    REGARDS,

	Anna, I do remember seeing this in v2.4 but I thought that it was 'fixed' by not allowing you to Create a User with such a short name. Of course this would not help users who existed previously. is there anything in STARS on this? Unfortunately I don't have access to a system where I can test this so you may have to SPR this unless someone else can try this on v3.0 Regards, Andrew.D.Wicks

1944.3	Problem in WP Index	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4A	`Mon Jan 11 1993 18:19`	24
	There is still a problem in V3.0 when you print from an WP Index. A similar problem when printing from the WP menu was fixed in an earlier version of ALL-IN-1. The problem does not occur when printing from an EM index. The cause of the problem is in the named data for the print option of the WP$INDEX$OPTIONS menu. The statement: GET #PRINT_LISTFILE = OA$PARSED_USER:3 OA$CURDOC_DOCNUM\\ should be changed to: GET #PRINT_LISTFILE = OA$PARSED_USER:3 \\ GET #PRINT_LISTFILE = #PRINT_LISTFILE OA$CURDOC_DOCNUM\\ This overcomes a 'feature' of sym:n which will truncate the value to n characters but will also pad it to n characters. If the username is 1 or 2 characters the listfile name will have padded space characters. Please submit an SPR so we have a record of this problem. Richard
