TEXTTOSSID Procedure
Considerations
The external form of a subsystem ID is:
owner.ss.version or 0.0.0
owner is 1 to 8 letters, digits, or hyphens, the first of which must be a
letter; letters are not upshifted so the end user must enter
owner
in the proper case.
ss is either the subsystem number or the subsystem name.
A subsystem number is a string of digits which may be preceded
by a minus sign. The value of the number must be between
-32767 and 32767.
A subsystem name is 1 to 8 letters, digits, or hyphens, the first of
which must be a letter. Letters are not upshifted; the end user
must enter the subsystem name in the proper case.
version is either a string of digits which represents a TOSVERSION-format
version (Ann) or a value from 0 to 65535.
Examples: HP.PATHWAY.C00
HP.52.0
0.0.0
The 0.0.0 form is used to represent the “null” subsystem ID. Its internal representation
is binary zero. The number of zeros in each field may vary; for example, 000.0.000 is
equivalent to 0.0.0.
