Jerry,

I would have to ask - are you in control of the point of sale code?
Do you get to determine what their "export" format is -is this all in-house or part of a software package?
csv or tab delimited are two very standard forms. So is xml.
You do not want some customized "i" only version, especially if running
early v5. As you upgrade your i this process and the file format should never have to change if you keep it simple.
And I'll 2nd the encrypted suggestion if you have card or other personal data-lawyers (not yours, their's...)will love you if you don't.
