Hello!
I've been tasked with a rather large task of replicating code already written the US
I'm in the UK on 8.12, our other instance on 8.0
As I'm copying their solution I've noticed that some of their BSVWs are upto 9 chars long.
Theyve amended B9800020 to allow BSVWs etc to be 10 long.
Look in the code, you'll see the simple IF on line 145.
So I asked my ERP manager, for ease of replication (as this stuff uses a lot of C++ to create strings that ref these objects to call several UNIX scripts)...
Can I please change our B9800020 to allow me to a letter for letter replication of the US code.
No he said! It's dangerous bla bla bla.
So I pointed out that the US have done it and it's fine, plus it will save me a headache in not having to cross ref their object names with ours
Is there ANY danger to me changing that BSFN just like the US have done?
Sorry for the long winded question
