If 'what I am getting' referred to the goods I would be quite happy to 
wait for the detail. When it is the document type, which in turn 
determines the mapping and operational handling, I am just an 
old-fashioned reactionary who prefers it to be sorted out by the time 
you have read the transaction header.

In the case quoted we were just lucky that the converter programmer 
exceeded his brief and put in an 'unnecessarily sophisticated' general 
pattern matching algorithm. He has been quietly insufferable ever since.
