Flexible Field Lengths

Payroll for North America provides some flexibility of redefining the lengths of certain fields. Whenever you redefine field lengths, you should exercise caution. Because the batch programs used by the system expect certain fields to be the lengths defined in the standard as-shipped application, you should be careful not to increase those field sizes beyond the maximums allowed. Otherwise, you might have to modify the batch programs to reflect the changes.

This topic provides a list of the maximum field sizes expected by specific PeopleSoft applications.

Note:

For fields that aren't listed here, the applications are programmed to process the length defined in the standard product as the maximum length.
