Yeah, people have told me about XI. I have added that to the list of possibilities.
This thing is gaining legs, and we should be in good shape without my actually having to deal with Gentran:Basic for much longer. :) -----Original Message----- From: Edward J.

In the meantime, we are also staring an SAP conversion in the face. I'm trying to think of a way we can NOT go in and make all the application sides of our maps (about 500+ maps) into IDOCs. Now, I know that Gentran:Basic really can't create app-to-app maps, but I was thinking that I could create a "standard" that would look suspiciously like an IDOC - and then I said to myself, "Self," I said, "If I had this thought, maybe others would have had it as well." Has anyone done this? Am I wasting my time? Yes, I know that there are other ways to do this, and I think I've examined most of them, and this seems to be the most painless way to make it happen. If I'm wrong, talk me out of it and tell me what you think I should do. We're about 2 years out, so I have some time. But the sooner we pick a direction, the sooner we can plan and execute the plan.
