TOPS20 Change Order Number 5.1556
Written by: ZIMA 1-Oct-81 14:38:27
Edit checked: NO Document: NO
TCO Tested: NO Maintenance Release: YES
Hardware-related: NO
Program: MAIL
Routines Affected: namer

Problem:
MAIL no longer types out the string for an invalid user name. In
addition, MAIL does not produce sufficiently enlightening error messages
when parsing name lists for the TO: or CC: fields. The message is always
"Invalid user name" even for cases such as using a nonexistent indirect
file, or command string too long.
Diagnosis:
Conversion of code for Release 4 to use the COMND JSYS left out the
user name, the fixed text was always there.
Solution:
Put the typeout of the invalid string back into NAMER; and append the
ERSTR message for the last process error to the message so that the text
is more informative and handles at least the above cases.
