Mark,
If you have specific numbers, or just need to have 20-digit numbers for
testing, you can always generate several pages with the numbers and
their associated bar-codes on them, allowing you to scan them in.

General Question. A client has just taken on a new major customer and we have
to keep track of their product codes. These codes are 20 numbers long with no
real prefixing, suffixing or patterns.
Is there any way to abbreviate numbers. I know this is a weird question but I
know that I may be entering these codes manually during the testing and/or
installation phase of this project and 20 numbers is a lot of typing.
I've run out of ideas that simplify as most tend to complicate matters. The
users will eventually be using bar code, scanning off of printed documents. As
I develop, I will not have that benefit.
I can calculator-enter numbers pretty effeciently given my accounting
background. But 20 digits is a lot.
I'm open to any ideas even if to know there are none.
Thanks in advance.
