Re: [Apc-aa-coders] strange thing about storing itemids

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hi Michael,

No it is not possible. The unpacked ID is always hexadecimal number. The
common reason of this inconsistency in database is caused by "Related
Item Window" Input Type when the administrator forgets to set field's
"Insert" function to "Item IDs". If administrator overlooked this and
the id is stored as "Text", then leading flags 'x', 'y' and 'z' are not
removed, which causes problems.

Couldn't this be the case?
