I'd be happy to do this - or rather throw it back to the developer
upstairs and tell HIM to do this - but it's not our app - it comes from
the vendor 'as-is'.

To be fair, after a round of phone calls last night and today this seems
to be a self-inflicted issue; other customers are putting far larger
amounts of data through without the problems we are having;  I suspect
the guys running EDI don't quite have a handle on 'how' to do what
they're asking the software to do.

Which reminded me of a conversation I had with them two months ago ..

Me: (Looking at the raw xml files that are hundreds and hundreds of mb
in size ) Those are some big files.

Them: Well .. they just come out that way. We're not really sure why ...
(shrug).

That shrug .. oh, how I fear that mental shrug.
