This is a fixed length, multi-record type file of transactions. It is called the TP029 file by Global. This appears to be a standard file that Global sends to its payment processing customers to allow them to update their local systems. > > Before I start to code up the SAS "INPUT" statements for this file, I was wondering if anyone has created INPUT statements for some or all of the record types in this file?

I don't know the file, is it EDIFACT format? We recently had problems converting an Edifact file with SAS, it appeared to cost a huge amount of resources. Other information we gathered is that the IBM Data Interchange product is said to be very efficient in converting Edifact files to whatever format you want it to be.
