Decode X.400 DD.RFC822Cn attributes into a DD.RFC-822 attribute.

Syntax

DECODE DDRFC822 dd.rfc-822c-avpl

Command Qualifiers	Defaults
None.	None.

Parameters

dd.rfc-822-avpl

A DD.RFC-822 and DD.RFC822Cn attribute value pair list.

Description

X.400 Domain Defined Attribute values are limited to a maximum of 128 characters. Internet addresses are normally "embedded" into an X.400 address by representing the Internet address using the X.400 DD.RFC-822 attribute; but since Internet addresses may be longer than the X.400 DDA value limit, a single DD.RFC-822 attribute value may not be able to contain an entire long Internet address. To handle this case, three additional "continuation" DDA's have been defined, DD.RFC822C1, DD.RFC822C2, and DDRFC822C3. A single Internet address may be split among these four DDA's, thus allowing Internet addresses of up to 512 characters to be embedded into an X.400 address.

The DECODE DDRFC822 command decodes an AVPL of X.400 DD.RFC-822 plus continuation DD.RFC822Cn attributes into a single DD.RFC-822 attribute.

EXAMPLES

$ PMDF TEST/X400
X400> DECODE DDRFC822 "/DD.RFC-822=amy.adams(a)example/DD.RFC822C1=.com/"
Result: /DD.RFC-822=amy.adams(a)example.com/ 
      

This example shows decoding a DD.RFC-822 and a DD.RFC822C1 attribute into a single DD.RFC-822 attribute.
