**An existing contact** (**@uscont** or **@same-as**) (.us only) This means an existing contact handle in the JOKER-DATABASE. Examples: owner-contact-handle:COUS-176269 admin-contact-handle:COUS-176229 tech-contact-handle:COUS-176269 billing-contact-handle:COUS-176269 In case you have entered a non-existing contact handle, the system will send you an errormail.
It is also possible to set a reference to a contact definition, which has been made earlier within the current request. To do so, please use the following syntax:
admin-contact-handle:same-as-owner-contact
tech-contact-handle:same-as-admin-contact
billing-contact-handle:same-as-tech-contact
The **@same-as** makro always replaces the value for the specified contact handle with the email address of the makrotarget. If the referenced contact has to be created with this request, it takes the result handle. Keep in mind that for .us-requests the contact handles for (.com/.net)-contacts are not allowed. If you are referencing to a shortcut like hans@nose.net#1, you will get an error. ## .de Contacts

If you do not provide the request field **name** but your are providing the request fields **fname** and **lname**, the whois is showing the concatenation of these fields.
