Re: Order Number Field Size

Not sure what to advise on V4.03, but the 6.0 versions offer an order purge
program to purge orders older than a specific number of days.  Maybe you could
write a similar program or contact our Global Development Center, they may be
able to retrofit the 6.0 program to run on the 4.003 Database.   I would contact
your Account Manager to explore solutions that SSA GT can help with.

If you are unsure who your Account Manager is, contact me offline and I will
research for you.

Subject:  Order Number Field Size



We are on BPCS v4.03 and find we are shortly to run out of order
numbers (6 digit field HORD on file ECH).    I presume this must be a
fairly common issue and wonder how have other people overcome
this ?      Ideally we would want the field to be 8 digits but
realise this would be a big modification to undertake owing to the
appearance of the order number on other files and on various screen
displays and printouts. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.

Tom B.
