RE: Expanding ITNBR Field length

["Burns, Bryan" <burnsbm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great! Now we don't have to do it!  The request came from our corporate
parent.

Needless to say, this is something that would be impossible for us to do
ourselves correct?

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.
