Yes we have had this occur with a customer Big-W in Australia. They wanted the CONTRL record in a different version then the ORDERS document they sent it.
We have Gentran on the iSeries so we were able to handle it fairly easy. We set up a new Global paramater file that stated not to return the 997/CONTRL under the same version the document was received and instead send out the 997/CONTRL in the format setup on the partners outbound CONTRL parameters. We just call the library containing the different Global parameter file before processing Big-W and then delete the library after Big-W was processed in. We attempted to explain to them that this was not normal but that did not help. They wanted what they wanted.
