EDI knowledge is important as we move down the path of a mapping project. Part of the purpose of a mapping exercise is to separate the formula from the mapping. We do this so that we figure out what data is going to go where before we create the logic to change data format etc. Many times people dive into a project and start to build the transformation code to move the data from the source to target. This causes many problems down the road. When we start with the target, and then just map the sources of the data, we get a better field of vision and avoid running into many of the problems that come from diving in blind. Thanks again for your comment. Hope your mapping projects are going well. Roy Bruce,
