I liked your review of JD Edwards very much. I spent two years working with their flat files and I have to admit they are quite bloated. Lots of fields I left empty. However, before anything was posted to the database, these flat files had to pass validity, a validity that my EDI translator could not do.
What I would like to see is a translator that would first pull in the database record (s) (if they exist); compare it with the EDI document; have logic to see what, if any, data can be safely posted (updated) and flag that which will require human intervention.

'Flat Files' I have had recent interest in the subject of JD Edwards EDI and use of Flat Files v.s. Data Base Tables. To me it is idiotic to use Flat Files for much of anything any longer. But it is amazing how this primitive approach in today's Data Base Systems environment continues to be used; even promoted and presented in Webinar Presentations. Amazing isn't it. Anyway, I've put together a sort of white paper on the matter. Love to hear some comments from my 'peers' <smile>! http://www.ediguy.net/documents/jde_edi.html Cheers, Skip Stein The EDI Guy!
