Ryan, Just sort of thinking out loud here, but if you look at the file on the KnowledgeBase for the multiple Business Card, it has a method in its script to write records to a new file that you create in OnJobStart.
If you augment this script to: 1) not be of a variable length but a specified "chunk"-length that you define; 2) as you are adding records, test for the change in your "file category" field; 3) when you change from one file-category to the next, continue the adding loop with blank records 4) repeat the loop for the next set of records until your entire input file is finished. On second thought, this may need a nested loop. Using the ExternalDataFileEx you can search through and determine the number of changes for your field category. The outer-loop would be this number of file-categories your script counted, while the inner-loop would contain your "chunk-defined" loop to append records and blanks. --- David A.

Thank Raul, Unfortunately... I was the original poster of "Splitting Records based on a Field in the data Body". Your suggestion does work and I currently use it or manually split the database depending on the number of total records. I simply want to automate the whole process since there are upwards of 30-50 groupings. Composing the same database 30-50 times would drive anyone crazy. I understand Dan's original suggested process but am having a difficult time with the last part. I somehow need to distill the data into a temp. file and insert empty records up to the maximum records per "chunk" or group. FusionPro would then skid or not compose the empty records. I understand the ExternalDataFileEx part. I already have a summery sheet based on the input file. So I guess the question should really be... How do I (or what is the javascript code to) insert the empty records into the temp file? Ryan +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Calling all FP Web Users!
