Hi Bob,

Here is the .dxf we generated.
  https://github.com/litlfred/zimbabwe-sdmx-hd/blob/master/outputs/dhis/dhis.dxf
you'll see that the <id>'s are alphanumeric created by concatenating "post" and 
the internal id's used by zHRIS.  

When we tried to load these into DHIS (2.9) if failed with a number format 
exception in the log file.  Maybe I misread, but I thought alphanumeric id's 
were ok...

Cheers,
-carl
