Bob,
Earl's sample shows multiple Pack and Item levels. It's implied, but if your structure follows the one below, be sure to allow for and test multiple Order levels within a Shipment; multiple Pack levels within an Order; and of course, multiple Item levels within the Pack.

I believe the first HL loop should look > like this: HL*1**S It's like this: Normally, the ASN has the following structure: SOPI S - Shipment, O - Order, P - Pack, I - Items. There are variations, additions and even some very minimalistic usages out there. Each level points to the next lower level. The HL_01 always increments, usually by one. The HL_02 is the pointer. The HL_03 is the level. BSN HL*1**S <shipment stuff here> <like N1'SF' for ShipFrom and TD1,3,5 for Carrier stuff> HL*2*1*O points to the corresponding S level <PRF DTM order stuff here> HL*3*2*P points to the parent O level (at HL 2) MAN*GM*<container number> HL*4*3*I <1st item stuff here> HL*5*3*I points to the parent P level <2nd item (if there are multiple items in the box) > HL*6*2*P points to the parent O <carton stuff> HL*7*6*I I can send you some samples, but once you get the idea of the hierarchy of levels (SOPI, SOIP, whatever) you should not have any problems.
