Leading zero in that case? Justin C. Haase Solution Manager - Technical Services Kingland Systems Corporation -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ron Adams Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 1:54 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: Justification for modifications? Interesting info John. I'll have to look more into that so I do combat with our CFO and auditors on the whole testing/signoff of all the groups thing. As far as validation goes, it's a purchased ERP that's more than 12 years old. We own most of the code, but another issue here is a mandate not to do any further modification of the system unless it's considered critical or business impacting. The plan is to be off this system within 18 months. But, then I have to ask the question, if I should choose to modify it and validate a quantity entered, what's the best approach to doing so? Are others validating quantity fields? If so, how? I would think the best approach would be to check the value entered if greater than a set value like maybe 10,000 or some other arbitrary number, then query the user "Are you sure?", or simply restrict a single line from exceeding that number. Otherwise, how do you tell the difference between a date of 030207 and a quantity of 30207?
