David,
Thank you! The "second thought" sounds very promising... we'll give
it a try.
As I mentioned, I already have an ExternalDataFileEx creating a
summery sheet with all the relevant data for our xerox/bindery/
mailing departments. And I've already created a rule to recognize the
chuck/group change from current record to previous record.
It would just be so darn simple to be able to nest the
OnNewOutputFile callback into the OnRecordStart (or OnRecordEnd)
callback.
Either way... I'll post our success... or failure.
Ryan

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.
