Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 22:57:09 -0400 From: Ezra Peisach RT-Send-Cc: X-RT-Original-Encoding: iso-8859-1 Content-Length: 342 The way that the code is writen today for this sam handling is that we send it as present - but empty. I need to look a little more at the decoder - it may be that present but empty (i.e. len 0) - may have the same effect as not present at all. The decoder clearly anticipates that the optional strings may not come over the wire. Ezra
