Dear Donald, TS.com has some payment services software roughly conforming to ECML = 1.1 as described by RFC3106 (albeit based on the now obsolete www.ecml.or= g specifications rather than the RFC which we weren't aware of at the time). One "issue" we have (if you will exclude the pun) is that in the UK there is a major acquirer called "Switch" whose cards have an "issue number" (typically one or two digits) which we are required to includ= e in the X.25 card authorisation message sent to our bank. In earlier versions we've (mis-)used the "Ecom_Payment_Card_Verification" field to support this data, but now that we need to actually support VISA CVV2 this option is no longer available. I therefore suggest that ECML should include a new "ECom_Payment_Card_IssueNumber" field which can be officially used to support this. kind regards, Ray Bellis -- Ray Bellis, MA(Oxon) - Technical Director community internet plc - ts.com Ltd Windsor House, 12 High Street, Kidlington, Oxford, OX5 2PJ tel: +44 1865 856000 email: [email protected] fax: +44 1865 856001 web: http://www.community.net.uk/ ----Original Message----- =46rom: Ray Bellis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 1:04 PM To: Eastlake III Donald-LDE008 Subject: Re: Suggestion for ECML draft? > Your message should have been sent to the working group. > May I forward it to the Working Group mailing list?
