I think so. There seems to be an unarchitected mechanism [1] to extend the field length but the spec says its use is discouraged. [1] MO:DCA spec, Eighth Edition, "Structured Field Syntax", SFI semantics, Bytes 6-7, page 21/22. > 2. Do we need to warn the user in this case?

Simply check if the value is longer than allowed and then check if the truncated part contains anything other than spaces. > Thanks, > Venkat. Jeremias Maerki
