DOCUMENT:Q198819 27-FEB-1999 [exchange] TITLE :Chat: CREATE Command Does Not Accept Capital Letters for Modes PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:winnt:5.5 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Chat clients in IRCX mode will receive an error when creating a channel using a capital letter for the mode. For example, if you type: CREATE #channel L 50 The Microsoft Exchange Chat Service will respond with the following: Server 472 nick L :is unknown mode char to me CAUSE ===== The CREATE command accepts only lower case letters for the mode. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, use lower case letters when typing the CREATE command. For example: CREATE #channel l 50 STATUS ====== This behavior is by design, the MODE and CREATE commands accept only lower case letters.
