Hi Brad,
I am fairly certain that I did not follow all you said. Perhaps an XML sample would
help the communication of the problem. Is this sometimes like what you want?
<POLines>
<SAC value="SAC1">
<PO1>....</PO1> (PO1s for SAC1)
<PO1>....</PO1>
</SAC>
<SAC value="SAC2">
<PO1>....</PO1> (PO1s for SAC2)
<PO1>....</PO1>
</SAC>
<SAC value="SAC3">
<PO1>....</PO1> (PO1s for SAC3)
<PO1>....</PO1>
</SAC>
</POLines>
Can you explain the problem a little more fully perhaps in relation to a diagram or
some visual representation?
I think I lost your explanation at: "when there is a new occurrence of the SAC, this
should stop the population of the remaining PO1's in the first SAC." What does "stop
the population" mean exactly?
