field size

[puthputh]

Hello,

I need to set the field size in a field which's data type is:

-AUTONUMBER
-NUMBER

I've been told it is possible, but I don't know how.

Please help. Thankyou

Numeric fields have their size dictated by what type of numeric field they
are (for instance, an Integer is two bytes, and therefore can hold a value
between -32,768 and 32,767, while a Long Integer is four bytes, and can be
between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647). Autonumbers are Long Integers
(unless you're using a Replication ID Autonumber), and you can't change
anything about them.
