Parameter
cpuid/trunc_left
Short text
Side where computer names are truncated
Parameter Description
One of four parameters (see also cpuid/trunc_size, cpuid/behind_last, and cpuid/before_first), which are used to control how long external host names are converted to short internal R/3 host names.
If necessary, the long host name is taken out of a longer network address name using separators. The permitted length is specified in cpuid/trunc_size. If the name is still too long, it must be truncated on the left or right side. The side truncated depends on the naming conventions for the other hosts and must be chosen so that the resulting names are unique.

Are other parameters affected or dependent?
The five associated parameters are applied in the following sequence:
1. cpuid/
2. cpuid/before_first
3. cpuid/behind_last
4. cpuid/trunc_size
5. cpuid/trunc_left
Values allowed
‘0’, Use the initial characters. This means truncate on the right.
‘1’, Use the final characters. This means truncate on the left.
