ADD-MEMBER Operation
ADD-MEMBER adds the new members identified by MEMBER-NAME to the
distribution list identified by DLIST-NAME. You can specify any number of new
members even though the DDL format shows only five; the number is restricted only
by the limit specified in the OCCURS clause and the length of the entire IPC that
contains this UOW. The maximum IPC length is defined during TRANSFER system
configuration.
The names of the new distribution list members are fully resolved as specified by flags
in the depot profile.
Note If remote name resolution is specified in the profile and you add many names to one or more remote
systems, the resulting network traffic might slow your application appreciably.
If the depot profile specifies that local name resolution is deferred, the new member
names must be fully qualified and syntactically correct.
If the depot profile specifies that remote resolution is deferred, a new member name
that specifies a remote node is added with a warning error:
W-REMOTE-NAME-ACCEPTED if the node name is recognized
W-NODE-NAME-UNKNOWN if the node name is not currently known to
EXPAND
A member name can include a suffix. If the name is resolved to be that of another
distribution list or that of a correspondent whose depot profile indicates the depot
currently does not accept suffixes, the suffix is discarded without notice.
If the depot storage statistics facility is collecting, the depot storage statistics for the
distribution list are incremented in the DEPSTAT file.
If a shared distribution list name is specified, the current correspondent must be one of
the following:
The creator of the distribution list, if the creator of the distribution list is currently
a member of the group.
A group administrator or system administrator with write privileges on the node
where the list was created.
A member of the group that owns the voluntary sign-up distribution list, and the
name being added is the correspondent's own name.
Otherwise, if a shared distribution list name is specified, an E-SECURITY-
VIOLATION error is returned.
If you attempt to update a group's MEMBERS or ADMIN distribution lists, an E-
SECURITY-VIOLATION error is returned. Only the TRANSFER delivery system has
the authority to update these special distribution lists.
