We appreciate the additional information provided explaining how the current constraint impacts existing automated production workflows. We understand the request, but will need to research what it will take to make this change and if it will require a database rev of XPP or not. That research will impact when might be able to target this change. We are tracking this as XPP-11076 on the XPP Product Backlog.
Would you please each share with us the maximum number of characters you've had to accommodate to date, and that you envision needing to accommodate? Having this information will also help us determine next steps. For example, if we learn that we can increase the left-flush and right-hang fields each to 8 characters without revving the database, will that be enough to meet the alignment requirements or is that not worth doing because the requirement is 10?
Any additional information you can provide with real use case examples will be helpful.
Thank you!
