You don't specify what messages/transaction sets you are dealing with, but in theory it can be done. I have several clients who map incoming X12 830s and EDIFACT DELFORs, and 862 and DELJITs, to one flat file layout, and generating 856s and DESADVs out of one flat file layout. -- Tom Brandt Northtech Systems, Inc. 130 S. 1st Street, Suite 220 Ann Arbor, MI 48104-1343 http://www.northtech.com/ .
