Hi.
I was checking the xml files I received on the page https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp
I noticed that in the "Original Boxes" there is an ITEMID field with
a length of 17 characters (Disneylandparis-1). And in the description of the
ITEMID field it is indicated that it is "Limit 15 characters" (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp
?helpID=168).
It turns out that the real limit on the ITEMID field is 17 characters or more?

It is indeed 15, the -1 is a sequential ID added to the ITEMID.

You can check it here: https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=S

Thanks for your reply.
I thought the sequential ID was included in the ITEMID. I checked all xml files
and found all ITEMID 15
Disneylandparis-1
ClermontFerrand-1
ClermontFerrand-2
TRUNEXOMONSTER-1

You mean ITEMID greater than 13

3 out of 3 are French.  Yeah!

Hmm, why doesn’t Paris get a capital P?
