Hi Steve, FME is already "looping" in the sense you mean, because it processes one feature at a time anyway. The custom transformer looping is a way of repeating a section of workspace a number of times for the same feature, which is a bit different to your scenario.
What format are you writing to? I agree that a fanout is the best method here. Probably a dataset fanout (would depend on the destination format). Then it's not so much that FME would read/process/write for each record, but would read/process them all, hold them in a group and then divide that group up into a number of outputs at the very end.

Could I use the Looping transformer to do this? > For insights into what's up at Safe Software and what's on the development horizon, visit Safe's blog at spatial-etl.blogspot.com.
