EDI-C-EDI-APP-SECUR-ELTS
Meanings of Attributes
The attribute types specify the following information:
EDI-T-EDI-APP-SECUR-ELEMENT
Indicates the application security elements referred to in this class. 
EDI-T-EDI-APP-SECUR-EXTENSIONS
Contains requests for extended security processing as part of the submission, transfer, or 
delivery of the object (EDIM or EDIN). 
EDI-T-EDI-ENCRYPTED-PRIMARY-BP
Indicates whether the associated primary body part is encrypted (applies to EDIMs 
only).
Implementation and Usage Note
•
OM-S-ONFILE-STRING is a value syntax that applies to messages exceeding 64 
kilobytes.
For the attribute EDI-T-APP-SECURE-ELEMENT, this value syntax is an 
alternative to OM-S-BIT-STRING.
When this attribute has the syntax OM-S-ONFILE-STRING, the GPI library stores 
the value in a file, and the value retains the characteristics of its primary syntax. 
For outbound messages, the client program should specify OM-S-ONFILE-STRING 
as the syntax of an attribute when the memory storage space might be insufficient to 
accommodate the value of the attribute. The client can specify this syntax for 
specific strings when the accumulated length of the strings might overflow the total 
string area specified in the max-table-data parameter of the GPI_INITIALIZE_ 
procedure call. 
For inbound messages, the Gateway Interface Process automatically specifies OM-
S-ONFILE-STRING for those strings that exceed the value in the max-table-data 
parameter of the GPI_INITIALIZE_ call or that exceed the maximum length 
specified in the max-in-memory-string-len parameter of the 
GPI_MT_START_TRANSFER_IN_ call.
