Hi,

I was wondering whether the customer ID of the B&S assignment should be strictly 8 digits, or if you can enter a number with less then 8 digits such as "42".

The assignment states that the owner of the record is an "id value (an 8 digit number)"

Any comments on this ?

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

My architecture allows digits from that have less then 8 digits.

So 42 would be in my case accepted.

I padded leading zeros, "42" in my case "00000042"

Thanks for your replies. Padding with leading zeros seems a pretty good idea to keep all numbers in the same format, I think i'll do the same.

Cheers,

Chris
