Dear All,

Presently we use project codes as " H.00.HXX.000.00.00.00.00 "

Now we have created project upto series H.08.HXX.999.

We are unable to create H.08.CXX.1000 or further.

Now I tried to change the coding mask in the config by changing H.08.HXX.000 to H.08.HXX.0000 , but the system is not allowing the same.

Please suggest me on this matter.

Regards,

Vishal

Hi,

As per your masking code, all special characters are also calculated as character and hence already you have reached maximum 24 characters. As per standard system you cannot create masking codes more than 24

thanks everyone!

the length of 24 should be usable

what do you mean by I am able to use 20

is it restricted by your mask??

to me I cannot see any reason why you cannot increase to 24

Length 24 character include Prjid and coding mask, check length including PRjid, it might be 25 charcter.
