It truncates the ident at maxlength - 3 and appends a three char scrabled suffix that's guaranteed not to create a duplicate ident. So, not really a problem for ECO.
But what I wrote about variable length problems forces us to configure ECO to e.g. max 25 chars rather than 31. Also, when working "behind the scenes" directly with the data, the identifiers are sometimes a bit difficult to read/understand, and type of course. So, while it works, it's a bit of a nuiscanse(sp?).
