Unless you add a LEN attribute, you get the data definition length of the account number on reports, so you will only need to change the reports that have an LEN attribute on the field.
Due to fabulous MT consistency, you need to look for @number, @acct.number, @account.number and @exam.account (at least) but you could write a report in NPR.REP that hunts down all reports with the field and only gives you the ones that have an LEN attribute attached.

However, we want to have a decent plan in place before we do this. Below are the things we thought of to change or check into before making this move. Is there anything else we're missing? If you have gone through this, how did it go for you? Anything we should watch out for? What departments did you need to include in this project? Would you suggest increasing the length to the maximum of 12, since you can only increase it once, or are there any downfalls to that? (our length is 8 now) Also we're thinking of increasing the unit number length at the same time. Again, if you've gone through this, any tips? To Do's: *Change account number length in all NPR reports. *Confirm new account length will fit on wristbands, labels, etc... *Check/change custom orders - lab, rad, oe *Verify all Interfaces (lab, PACS, Varian, etc) *Check with Meditech - will this affect any customs we have in place? *Check with LSS - how will they be affected (suspense file, customs, etc) Thanks in advance!!!
