Dale,

Don't you have to reset the MO numbers often?  Then you have to worry about
duplicates in your database.  Just a warning Tom, that is you use lots of
MO's during the month you want to limit the letters you use in the MO number
to avoid confusion.  You will also need to reset the MO number in CAS and
you need to have a way to do it automatically or have your night operator
(if you have one) have explicit instructions on how to reset it for the
other shifts to avoid problems.

Good luck,
Paola Groeber
