    Network communications parameters

ExtendedName communication parameter [ENAME]

Usage 

SPX (platforms other than Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT/2000/XP)

Values 

YES, NO

Default 

NO

Description 

According to the Novell standard for legal SAP names, the following characters are not allowed:

\ / : ; , * ? + -

If you start a server named "asademo-1", the default behavior is to strip out the - and try to start a server asademo1. By turning on ExtendedName, the name is left untouched.

This is an SPX port parameter and is only useful when starting a server.

Caution     Users should be wary of using this option as it is contrary to the SAP standard.

Example 

• The following command starts a NetWare server with the name asademo-1.

  load dbsrv9.nlm -x spx(ExtendedName=YES) asademo-1
