Answer[MS-OXORULE] Action Flavor flags

    Hi,

    MS-OXORULE 2.2.5.1.2 "Action Flavors" shows a table of flags.

    Entry "TM" is shown at position 8 in the table. Based on the weird convention used in these specs, that is 0x00008000. However the associated text shows it as bit mask 0x00000008 (which would be position 4).

    Which is correct?

    Thanks

    Brad

    Hi Brad,

    I apologize I was not more clear.  The drawing in the table is incorrect.  The "TM" flag should be in bit position 4, not bit position 8 as the document currently shows.

    Hi Brad,

    You are correct.  A bug was filed against the documentation for this issue.

    Mark,

    I don't understand this response in the context of the question.

    I asked:
    Entry "TM" is shown at position 8 in the table. Based on the weird convention used in these specs, that is 0x00008000. However the associated text shows it as bit mask 0x00000008 (which would be position 4).

    Which is correct?


    It is obviously inconsistent, but I'd like to know which bitmask I should use for TM: 0x00008000.or 0x00000008?

    Mark,

    Thanks for this. Can you advise of the TDI number so we can see this come though into the documentation?
