DEC/EDU UNIX 3.1 - URGENT
As you know it is possible to use the UNOB character set and
other default demimiters as the ones used for the UNOA
one(.,:,+,',?)
In that case on outbound you generate:
UNA+:. '
UNB+UNOB:2+.......
In a FTX segment you could have the special characters appearing
in the leading UNA segment
Question: If such characters have to appear as simple characters
in such segments as FTX do they have to be preceded with the '?'
(release character one) or not ?
I do think they have not to confuse the receiver when they have
to really interpret them as delimiters
I know than for UNOB the special default characters are Us1, US2,
US3 but it's not the question here
Basically the product in 3.1 doen't generate such characters
ahead

I'm not sure if I understand the question.
If the data in the FTX segment contains
any of the characters defined in the UNA segment, they
should be preceeded by the release character ('?').
And you are saying this is not done when you use the delimiters
from syntax level A, with an interchange defined to be at syntax
level B?

| 3026.2 | Yes it's exactly the case : Bug ? | ATYISA::LEBRUN | Mon Feb 24 1997 19:17 | 6 | |
Yes , and the most annoying problem is that doesn't hurt at all
the partner that receives such FTX with the special characters
without '?'.
That happens when we set "Character validation = yes" and I hope
that doesn't happen with OpenVMS
