Abstract
A system and method to obtain a nickname for records, particularly records having number fields. A set of triplets is identified in a record. Criteria, at least at a strict level, is set to establish that used triplets are many, and hard to avoid. Using this criteria, triplets may be processed in order. Each triplet is checked against the criteria. Avoidance of the used criteria, i.e. that the current triplet is not used, enables the triplet to be associated with the record. Failure to avoid the used criteria enables a loop to continue if the exit criteriais not met. A next triplet is obtainedif the inner loop continues. Otherwise, a check to get a more relaxed used triplet criteria is made. If a relaxed used triplet criteria is available, the relaxed used triplet criteria (having fewer used triplets) is used, and an outer loop continues with processing of the list of tripletsagain. Otherwise, a triplet may manually be associated with the record
