How can i modify the Requsition number generation process in iProcurment

Question

We would like to modify the way Oracle generates the requisition number. Did some one do this kind of work and if so what are the files that have to be modified.
When users enter Requisition in iprocurement , they enter some additional information (Type, Code, Location) using Requsition header level DFF. I need to use this information and construct the Req. Number i.e (For Example 1-3 Digits will location, 4-5 will be code and 6-8 Type).
I was wondering what files i need to change to generate the Req. Number.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

probably depends on what you want to replace 'dangerous'

if you want to remove the 'dangerous' parts leaving other
parts of same
field as is, you are looking into regular expressions then -
but i doubt
there is any regexp that can deal with ALL 'dangerous'
entities...
to make it easier, you could just replace the whole field
value with
some default value, i.e. '' (empty string) for text fields, 0
or some
other number for integer fields, etc... of course, this has
to be in
line with your db schema and your fields must somehow carry
their type
metadata in them (i.e. in the field name) so that this
clean-up process
can be totally automated.
there may already be some udf/cfc/framework out there that
does this to
some degree, which you can extend as needed... check out
cflib.org
and/or adobe cf exchange.

Thanks. But I already generate a function (assume Replace())
to do that. What I don't know is how to use it in application.cfm
because form.element seems read-only.
For example, I want to write code like this(but it cannot run
in coldfusion because left part cannot be function):
<cfloop collection="#form#" item="formelement">
<cfset #evaluate(formelement)# =
Replace(#evaluate(formelement)# ) //so the safe post data can
continue to post to the website
</cfif>
</cfloop>
