Hello,
how can I change the length of wonum in Maximo 7.6.
I have changed the length of the attribute wonum in the object workorder
from 10 to 25 .
But if I make a new order in workorder tracking, I get the error BMXAA4049E
- The value specified CXPK123456789 exceeds the maximum field length. Enter
a value that fits into the length of this attribute.
Field: Workorder
Table.Column: Workorder.Wonum
What can I do?
It sounds as though there is a field that WONUM is being copied too that is
still too small, i.e. its "same as" data was incorrect and therefore did
not get increased in size automatically. It is likely a result of a
customization, an industry solution, a crossover or similar. There's no
simple way to find it, my first point of attack would be to crank up the
debugging ans see if the logs give you any insight.
Chris.

It’s normally in the WORKVIEW object as that covers both work orders and service requests, the key field can’t be sameas both WONUM and TICKETID.

I second that ... you could also do
Select * from maxattribute where attributename in (‘REFWO’,’WONUM’) and check the length of those fields – that might work.

Your database field may need to be 50 depending on your character set. Unicode requires two bytes sometimes, so a 25 character field may actually take up 50 bytes as a database field.
