Recipient Names
Naming TRANSFER Objects

A process supplies a recipient name in a 120-byte field. Leading blanks are permitted
within this field. Characters in a name or suffix cannot extend beyond the one
hundred and nineteenth byte. The one hundred twentieth byte must contain a null
character (binary zero) or a blank. With the exception of the field length and suffix,
the rules for recipient names are the same as those for other types of names.
Commas, single or double quotation marks, and nested parentheses are not allowed
within the bounding parentheses of the suffix. The suffix can be separated from the
correspondent name by one or more blanks. A character string must not follow the
suffix.
The TRANSFER delivery system stores a name containing a suffix as follows:
Removes all blanks immediately following the left parenthesis and immediately
preceding the right parenthesis
Converts all other occurrences of multiple blanks into a single blank
For example:
GREEN ( a suffix )
is stored as:
GREEN (a suffix)
The TRANSFER delivery system does not upshift lowercase characters in the suffix to
uppercase when it stores the name. As a result, the TRANSFER delivery system
distinguishes the following suffix from the suffix in the above example:
GREEN (A suffix )
Note TRANSFER clients do upshift lowercase characters in the suffix.
The TRANSFER delivery system identifies blanks in a suffix by using the same
character map that was applied to the main portion of the recipient name.
Examples of recipient names with suffixes are:
CONNERS-ADAM (ADMIN)
OTHER-MAIL @ CORPR (FINANCE)
OTHER-MAIL @ CORPR (ACC-RECEIVABLE)
