DRAPI: Comply in rules for creating subfolder names which includes backslash character

As an End user, in Domino REST API (DRAPI) needs to comply in rules for creating subfolder names which includes backslash character, because as per the observed behavior, regarding this documentation below:
https://help.hcl-software.com/inotes/12.0.0/rulesforcreatingfoldernames_c.html


It says that, "Subfolder names have a 130-byte limitation, which includes the backslash (\) character".


Currently, only total of 64 characters is allowed. If the characters exceeds to more than 64, it will not create a folder successfully via external program by using DRAPI Open API PIM.


Note that it's not the # of characters, it's the # of bytes, so while ASCIIchars are 1 byte, extended chars may take 2 bytes (double byte chars, etc).


Based on support ticket, DRAPI product development team will make better of it and will include in the next releases.
