Dear listers

I am looking for an algorithmus, which solves the following problem and
could be used within POWERHOUSE.

We have an identifier which ranges from 1-9999 (but is stored as character
in the database). We are about to reach the limit, so I would like to store
000A after 9999 and so on, rather then changing all the database structures
and depending programs.

Thank you for any help,
Friedrich
