ADD-X400-MEMBER Operation
Because the X400 members of a distribution list are ordered by sequence number, it is
possible to create gaps in the distribution list as members are deleted. These gaps are
not reused during normal member addition; members are simply added to the end of
the list. If an attempt is made to add a member and this would result in a sequence
number greater than 9999, then an automatic list compaction algorithm is invoked that
assigns the sequence numbers of the X400 members in sequential order starting at 1,
thus removing the gaps created by deletions. If, after compaction, the UOW still is not
successful, no more X400 members are allowed. However, if the UOW is successful
after compaction, the warning W-X400-DLIST-COMPACTED is returned to indicate to
the client that sequence numbers might no longer be valid and the list should be
scanned again to determine the new sequence numbers for the X400 members.
If a distribution list that has X400 members is added to a package as a recipient and the
recipient type specified is less than 300, the X400 members are not added as recipients
when the list is expanded. (This happens because recipient types of less than 300 are
invalid for X400 recipients.) A STATUS package is returned for each of the X400
members of the distribution list in question.
If the depot storage statistics facility is collecting, a record for this distribution list is
added to the DEPSTAT file.
If the TRANSFER X400-CONFIGURED flag is not set to Y, then E-X400-NOT-
CONFIGURED is returned. You can check the value of this flag with the GET-
CONFIG-NAME UOW. The flag is set to Y if the current node is configured into a
group of TRANSFER nodes called a domain.
