Dan,
I have gone through several iterations since encountering this
problem, but I initially thought that the UPDATE was all or nothing.
But I am now working on another field, and it seems that the record
was created, and just the filing in that one field failed.
By the way, is there any formal call to test if one's values will pass
the input transform for a given field before trying and potentially
only partially succeeding--causing more mess?
Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,
Out of curiosity, was the UPDATE^DIE call erroring out or that field just
wasn't getting set? I'm guessing it wasn't getting set.
From my very brief tests it looks like DA is probably defined it just
isn't a valid numeric IEN. It probably equals "?+" or whatever IEN setting
you have in the FDA array.
If you don't want to have to maintain a change to that Input Transform,
you'll probably want to do an UPDATE^DIE just to create the new record,
then do a FILE^DIE to insert the field info.
