>Hey, if you don't have to read down to the detail to figure out what >you're getting, it's just not FUN! 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.
