So if they don't use the code field, why is it important?

It's important because the field is what OUR business is all about
They use it, just not in every day life (like a passport or citizen service number).

Sure, but your perspective and their perspective might not be the same.
You have to hammer in the details that you need, but which they might not care about.
... And remember that their perspective is right, because he who has the gold makes the rules.

He who has the gold pays us to process their data... And to do that we need their data
Apparently, that field IS important to them or they would not be giving us their money to process it.

I understand this completely! Not long ago, a client sent a spreadsheet with employee information to be imported into a timeclock application. All of the columns we requested, including the unique employee id were present, and the information went in without a hitch! It's too bad that she had decided to be helpful and sort a few columns before sending it! Somehow, some people with the same last names got their id numbers mixed up. It took a week to get it 'sorted' out! Ahh, fun times!

Commit strip OTD: It’s not a bug[^]
If you document it, it's a feature...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Did they fix that bug in later versions?

I got three contract-to-hire positions open for a mid-level programmer in the Hollywood, CA area I need to fill sooner than later. Not sure if there is still a job board on CP though.

It got removed a LONG time ago.

Will you pay for me to come out there???

I'll pay you in free alcohol and coffee. I mean, sure it'll cost you money but you'll be so wasted you won't care.

I couldn't work as a programmer in Hollywood.
The way the text continually scrolls past on the screen at breakneck pace is too much for my eyeballs.

Turn your monitor sideways then.
Jeremy Falcon

I suppose I could try that -- but if I break the monitor, the computer will die, and all my data will be destroyed!

This is true. Good thinking. Perhaps have a second monitor then, so if the first breaks your data can hop on over to the other before dying?

Oh, that's great, cheers!
Y'know, it's true what they say: you should always listen to people who've been there, and know what they're talking about!
