However, if they really do mean it's optional (which might > have been Earl's point) don't send it to them. and as you point out, they may not _need_ it, BUT the probable reason for it being there is because they want to transmit different delivery dates for each line. (I'm assuming that you are receiving these 850s, not sending them). Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
