The structure has multiple occurs in, some of which are nested
Code: Select all

Occurs 30
Occurs 6
Occurs 140
Occurs 5
Fields
1) I had to import the decimals e.g. +00568 as strings as they were blank otherwise. Is this usual ?
2) I seem to be getting a cartesian product as I have about 35 rows, which when read, creates about 160,000 lines. I can only guess this must be 35x30x140. Again is this usual ?
3) I am having to read the sub records into one field in a separate file with the key and then reprocess them to extract the fields, then link them to the header file. Is there a better way ?
4) Are there any better alternatives than using the CFF file ?
I am unable to use the enterprise version as we only have the 7.5 server license.
Thanks
