PeopleCode to AutoIncrement an AlphaNumeric Transaction Number
Tue, 08/26/2008 - 1:12pm — Larry
I have code to auto-increment an alphanumeric field, using SQL calls. It is specific to a 4-character field, but can easily be adapted to different length fields.
SQLExec("SELECT decode(substr(oldvalue,2,3),'ZZZ', TRANSLATE(UPPER(SUBSTR(oldvalue,1,1)),'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0'),substr(oldvalue,1,1)) ||decode(substr(oldvalue,3,2),'ZZ',TRANSLATE(UPPER(SUBSTR(oldvalue,2,1)), '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0'),substr(oldvalue,2,1))||decode(substr(oldvalue,4,1),'Z', TRANSLATE(UPPER(SUBSTR(oldvalue,3,1)), '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0'),substr(oldvalue,3,1))||TRANSLATE(UPPER(SUBSTR(oldvalue,4,1)), '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0') FROM dual, (select :1 as oldvalue from dual)", &priorvalue, &newvalue);
If &newvalue = "0000" Then
&bOverrun_Error = True;
End-If;
If &newvalue = "0000" Then
&bOverrun_Error = True;
End-If;

Larry as your SQL works fine I'm just curious on what kind of requirement derived such code. I find it odd to increment an alpha numeric character :) - none the less, your SQL works perfect.

Have an alphanumeric field, ACTIVITY_ID. Was given requirements to create a Mass Add page, allowing user to auto-generate a large number of Project_Activity rows given a starting point within an alphanumeric range, along with the # of new rows desired, along with other common field values. Tried to get user to agree to only numeric incrementing, but they insisted upon alphanumeric. Go figure.
In Inventory the MSR no gets generated automatically.
Could that PeopleCode logic will also work for your requirement?
