Great. I can't wait to see what you come up with to meet these requirements. How you will fit 12399999 into a 5 character id field and how you will fit engineer and doctor into a 5 character role field is beyond me. Please explain how you determined that two fields need to be 5 characters wide when they need to hold values that contain more than 5 characters.

And, of course, you still haven't specified justification for values that don't completely fill a field???

Please show us the code you've come up with to meet these requirements!
