Need help to change order number

[stonda]

I modified the way the order number is created.
I need to have a number beginning with INT followed by 5 numbers. I fixed the first order number at INT10001 and used the following code into orderscript.pl:
# now we are ready to construct the order number
#
$::s_sOrderNumber = "INT" . substr($$::g_pSetupBlob{CGI_ID}, -1) .
substr("0000" . $nCounter, -4);
After reaching INT19999 the new order number has been INT10000.
How can I change code to get INT20000 ?
Thanks

This should do it:

# now we are ready to construct the order number
#
$::s_sOrderNumber = "INT2" . substr("0000" . $nCounter, -4);

Thank you Mike. It works.
I will probably have to change when I will arrive at 29999 ?

Hi Didier, I'm glad it works.

Yes, you'll have to change it after 29999 as you're only using 4 digits for the counter. It's an easy change (change the 2 in INT2 to a 3) but you could also use 5 digits for the count if you don't want to change it too often.
