RE: Style description 17 characters....

["Rob Rogerson" <rogerson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you may have misunderstood.  The field I am inquiring about is the
description field not the part number.  I fail to see any reason why this
field (description) is shorter in Style than in base.

JBA Part description is a text description of the part id(PNUM35).

Field PNUN35 in INP35 is 15 characters Long
Field DSTL25 in APP25 can represent the whole part, or can be a
piece of the part. For example if you use style color and size in
your partnumber then PNUM35 = DSTL25 + DCOL25 + DSIZ25 for a
value equal in length to the partnumber. The description merely
describes the part for example:

     Partnumber         PartDescription
     100001             smelly sneakers cleaner( describes partnumber
                                                 100001)
Hope this helps
