I was wondering how large site handle the Innopac's limitation of 256 entries (0-255) for all numeric codes?  What do you do it you have more then 256 discreet patron types, or unit/department/affiliation entries in your institution's personnel/student/whatever database?  We have run into this before, and it has caused some frustration for us in routine data conversion, and I would love to know what others do about it.

Thanks!
