Well, there are definitely two schools of thought on jamming everything into the EDI system - especially ODBC, etc.
If you keep your translator limited to translating, then you you have the following benefits: - loosely-coupled architecture allows you to easily change products. - if the database server or database server machine is down then there is no impact on EDI operations. - de-bugging is vastly easier. - ability to add functionality is greatly increased if using scripts or a programming language. -Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------- Paul McTeigue President, Icefan Systemhouse Inc.
