Query for BOM child items

Question

Dear Friends,
This following query,if I will attach it at PO in Item Code with formatted search  , I get result as BOM child items as per project code, here project code is similar to item code.
But my limitation is that my  item code is more than 8 character ,under accounting TAB BP project  ,project I can define it up to 8 character only.
My requirement is that if I will put project name (which is 30 characteristic) as like as item code , shall I get child item list.
If yes , suggest necessary changes in above query.
Query :
WITH RECUR ( CODE) AS
SELECT ITT1.CODE FROM  ITT1 INNER JOIN OITT ON OITT.Code=ITT1.Father WHERE ITT1.Father=$[$157.1.1]
UNION ALL
SELECT ITT1.CODE
FROM ITT1  INNER JOIN  OITT ON OITT.Code=ITT1.Father
INNER JOIN RECUR ON   RECUR.CODE    =ITT1.Father
SELECT CODE FROM RECUR inner join OITM on OITM.ItemCode=RECUR.CODE --and OITM.PlaningSys='M' and OITM.PrcrmntMtd='B'
Thanxs & regards
Mahesh.

Dear Mahesh,
I am not sure about your aim.
You would like to put a formatted search in the project code field of the sales order in order to get the children of the itemcode of that line in the document. The child codes will become the name of the project.
Your issue is the following:
As the project code field in the sales order (field called: rdr1, project) is long 8 characters only and the sum of the children codes will be too long for this field.
Am I correct?
If I am not correct, can you please tell me step by step what you are trying to do?
Thank you.
