Re: Expanding ITNBR Field length

[<pgroeber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bryan,

As a former MAPICS employee, I can almost guarantee that there are NO plans to 
increase this field size.  It would require a massive undertaking of not just 
IM, EPDM applications, but COM/CSM, MRP, MPSP, PUR, etc. applications.  
Customers would have to reorder forms or change programs, history files would 
be affected - it would be huge.  On top of that, if there were any requests 
from customers for this change, there were only a few.  This change would be a 
huge impact for minimual gain for both the customer and MAPICS.

In other words, don't look for it to change in MAPICS software.  Hope this 
helps.
