Associated Numeric Values
1: Enter the STARTING SEED NUMBER. These fields automatically display five places of precision. The decimal point must be ignored when creating starting seed numbers. For example, entering "1" in this field will display the value as "1.00000." This will set the starting seed number at a value of "100000." If you wish to start the seed value at "38," then the value "0.00038" must be entered into this field. This value will be automatically incremented by the system whenever the seed value is used. Caution: Resetting the starting seed number may impact existing data (i.e., seed numbers might be duplicated between existing records and new records). Evaluate the situation prior to resetting this value.
2: This value is simply a count of how many times the seed value has been used. If, for example, both the starting seed number (Associated Code 1) and this number are set to "0.00000," then these two fields will always be the same. As the seed number is incremented, so will this count of how many times the seed number has been incremented.  The value in this field has no impact on the actual generation of the seed number. It is used for informational purposes only.
3-5: Reserved for future use.
Associated Codes
1: There are two components to setting up this 12-character field. In the four left-most positions, a prefix can be added. If left blank, there will be no prefix. The two right-most positions contain the desired number of digits to include in the seed value. For example, entering "BO    06" will create a seed value that begins with the characters "BO" and contains six digits, which will result in a seed value that has a total of ten characters. Although this is a REQUIRED field, only the number of digits is required. Using a Prefix is optional.
