Are you sure you want me messing with that part of the code ;-)

If I were going to attempt it, I would probably try something like:

  IF ProgramID ENDS IN "000" AND parttotal > 1
  THEN APPEND ('A' + partnumber) ON THE END OF ProgramID;

The next question would be where to add that bit of code....
As the data is being put into the DB?
As the scheduler is pulling the data out of the DB?
