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.
