DSXchange

<breathlessly waiting for e>

Sorry, it's been years since I've had any dealings with XML so not sure what the change would need to be. However, you've posted some excellent supporting information so I'm sure someone who knows will come along and help you out.

First thing I'd suggest is an exact search here for "scientific", the topic of inadvertent scientific notation has come up several times and I got 40 matches when I just did the same.

What comes after -param is a "name value pair", so $runtime would have to look something like p_runtime=2012-07-15 to work correctly. Does it?

If by "output field" you mean the XPath Expressions that control the XML parsing, then yes - having them missing or incorrect could produce what you saw.

I'm assuming that the freeware being mentioned is GPG4Win. And you can certainly get support for it, it's just all of the peer-to-peer kind via their own forums.

How about starting by explaining to us what you have in properties of the stage?

I meant the original one as I'm assuming it just needs to be 'tweaked'.

Your approach doesn't look applicable to me. It's not about pattern matching between two known values, they need to do a lookup using a substring match.

WON'T IT WORK???

No need to post all of that again.

Heck if I know, it's nothing I can test right now and (to me) it looks overly complicated and not generic enough. [shrug] We'll see what pdntsap says.

Show us your XPath Expressions for Supplies/SupplyType/Quantity.

The problem occurs when my Integer rounding value (which was assumed to be 5 earlier) turns out to be a decimal value, say. 5.2 and I would need need to round to the closet multiple of this decimal value. Maybe everyone else understands this perfectly but for grins since we've left the integer worl...

No, as long as there is no reply posted you could have deleted your post should you have so desired. Now however... it's too late.

What have you tried so far, anything? Any approaches that didn't quite work out that we can help refine?

I've got too many issues of my own cooking to put too much thought into this right now, only thing that comes to mind is it seems like a modulus function might come in handy here.
