3457.0. "Converter Record Length Problem in ALL-IN-1 WPSPLUS to ASCII/TEXT" by FORTY2::DHURI () Wed Oct 27 1993 12:39

	Converter Record Length Problem in ALL-IN-1 WPSPLUS to ASCII/TEXT 



MAILbus X.400 Gateway, MRX, uses ALL-IN-1 converter libraries to convert
WPSPLUS bodypart received in NBS file to ASCII/TEXT. Previously MRX was
using ALL-IN-1 V2.3 converter libraries. When a WPSPLUS file with at
least one record greater than 512 bytes is sent to MRX, it fails with
RMS record length error during WPSPLUS to ASCII/TEXT conversion.
Now, the current version of MRX that is being under test uses 
ALL-IN-1 V3.0 converter libraries. When the same WPSPLUS file is passed
through new version of MRX, it is converted successfully. 

Could anybody (from ALL-IN-1/WPS-PLUS development team) let us know whether 
any problems around WPSPLUS to ASCII conversion have been fixed in 
ALL-IN-1 V3.*. This is just for our satisfaction that it was a known 
problem and not solved mysteriously.

Arun is visiting from the Bombay office and perhaps doesn't know the 
location of other groups, so I walked upstairs to chat to him.

Some time during ALL-IN-1 V3.0 development I put someone from the Message
Router group in contact with the WPS-PLUS group to get the latest 
WPL and DX text dataset routines.  It was found that the versions being 
used were very old, and maybe were older than the versions in ALL-IN-1 
V2.3.  

I remember that there was a record length problem which occurred when the 
resultant file specification was more than 64 bytes and overwrote other RMS 
data structures and caused various problems.  The problem was fixed but I 
don't remember in which version.
