This option sets the field length for all field types except Date or
Time fields and fixed-length bar codes. If the field length is
variable, enter the maximum length you’ll need for the field you’re
defining.
For price fields, remember to include enough space for the pricing
symbols ($ . /) or for unit pricing, such as 3/$1.00.
Fields that use a check digit scheme must have at least one more
character than the check digit scheme uses. See "Defining a
Check Digit" in Chapter 5 for more information about check digit
schemes.
