In the wiki at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_%289xx%29 it says: "The connection between the marc field and the sql tables 'items' is done with the frameworks. You can't change the sql table 'items' but YOU can change the marc field and subfields." However, we have found that the size for itemcallnumber is too small for some of our call numbers. Does this mean that we cannot increase the size of the field?
I think you are working on 3.0.6 where items.itemcallnumber is a varchar(30). You can change the size of the field but you need to use SQL. You can't use the web interface (as Chris says) On 3.2 the size is varchar(255). I suggest you to select a size betwenn 30 and 255. So, when you will update to 3.2, the script updatedatabase.pl will expand your field and not truncate. I add a note to explain this on wiki.
