Condensing the CART numeric sequence

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2002


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 41591
interpreted = N
texte = Has anyone written some code to condense the cart from 15 plus digits to a shorter alphanumeric sequence (something like base 36 I guess with the letters being either all lower or all upper case)? It's getting pretty long for order numbers for customers to deal with. If not, what are some of the other ways programmers are creating shorter unique SKU's and cart numbers with the tab delimited fields supported by WebCatalog?
