Re: NACHA module

Well, I've never had to write ACH files, but I've had to read them many times before. The most common record types should be pretty easy to format because they're all fixed-width fields. You can use pack for those, or, in a pinch, a well-placed format or two.

I'm not familiar with the apps you mention, and I'm not clear on exactly what you need the ACH files for, but I'd be inclined to roll my own. (And upload the code to CPAN later, of course. ;-)

If they are fixed width fields and there is a spec available, you might try to figure out a way to parse the spec to generate the required code. Dunno, its just a thought, but ive done something similar before. --- demerphq my friends call me, usually because I'm late....	[reply]

Our bank has sent us an MS Word document that describes the file format. The only place on the internet that I have found the specs on the file is in the docs for the PHP ACH Module. It will be a snap to generate the required code. I just have to find the time. I have quite a bit on my plate right now and was simply hoping that someone had already crossed this bridge.	[reply]
