RE: Confused About Field Size.

["Terry Anderson" <terrya@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,
I get an XML document from an outside vendor. I then have to update the
document and send it back to the vendor. I have to use their layout for
sending information back.

I am taking the comments from our quoting system and feeding them into
the vendors quoting system. Since the vendor only has the one field set
up for comments, I have to combine all 80 records from my file into one
field.

Clear as mud, right? Basically I am trying to make the two systems talk
to each other and can only use the PC field definitions from the vendor.

If you have any other questions, give me a call at one of the numbers
below.
