What it is im doing..is piggy backing on another number imcomming from
the
outside world
this number is then sent to another company
now where my number is concatenated to the end of the cust incomming
ID+MYID
The resulting string is to large for the Data Implementation

used for return reporting to identify the incomming customer prior
transaction , the myid part is our transaction id

Tks

Two suggestions:

1 Just use as many least significant digits of the incoming ID as you
can and hope that your ID is enough to distinguish where the truncated
numbers match.

2 You need a bigger data field.

hi all.....
i have Transaction ids 1000000 or greater in size

i want to do a math computation to represent any number in smaller
digits...

example
838 some math function(s) would calculate back to starting number

starting number 18347868 calculate some math to smaller number and
then
back

TIA
DaveP
