Re: Increment an alpha field by "1"

"Basically, you'd start off with MAAAAAA0 and then it would go to MAAAAAB0
and so on. When it gets to MAAAAA90, it then goes to MAAAABA0, then
MAAAABB0 and so on."

I have this program version ready to test but I need to restate the range
of numbers that I want to focus on. First thing is that I specified
before that my concerned positions were 2-6 but it should be 3-6 and I
apologize for that. Second, my issue is that I am trying to deal with the
creation of new order numbers and the position of the characters is
important (in my case). I HAVE to start in MTAA010 and HAVE to end with
MTZZ990. The configuration of my order number is as follows:

* First char (M) means that this is a manufacturing order
* Second char (T) means the plant location I want to focus on
* Positions 3-6 are the positions I need to increment the sequence in
* Last position (Pos 7) will always be zero (0).

TIA!
