Hi Coy!
I'd venture to guess your internal imaging folks (by your email
address,
I can only assume you work for Fidelity) already have some good X9.37
test files that you could borrow since they can be a pain to create.
You would think! But you know that old saying about left and right
hands! Actually I work for a company that was bought by a company that
was bought by a company that was bought by Fidelity.
X9.37 is a standard with many implementation specific nuances.
Yes, the revisions are scary. I wrote to X9 and this is part of the
reply I received..
" The "Draft Standard for Trial Use" or DSTU never became an industry
standard and was withdrawn, although the "historical document is
available my understanding is that the industry does not want to see any
future development with the withdrawn standard. Anyone requesting it
should do it only for reference purposes and new development should be
according to ANS X9.100-187 and appropriate industry application aids
for guidance on implementation(i.e., Universal Companion Document). "
Maybe this will come back to visit you someday.

Bill,
I'd venture to guess your internal imaging folks (by your email address,
I can only assume you work for Fidelity) already have some good X9.37
test files that you could borrow since they can be a pain to create. Our
original test files with the Fed and bogus data passed fine, but once we
sent tests with live data, those had to be tuned in. I don't remember
all the issues as that was 2005, but I do know we have to have separate
import/export parameters for both the Fed files and the RDC files we
receive from ProfitStars. X9.37 is a standard with many implementation
specific nuances.
And for the record, we don't process them on our AS/400, it's handled by
Metavante ImageVision which I believe is what your outsourced item
processing people are also using.

Subject: Experience working with Check 21 file format X9.37
Hi all:
My manager asked me to look into importing check data and images, for
Check 21, from files in the X9.37-2003 format.
I've have some PDFs which explain the file format layout but I haven't
found any example or test files that I can compare the documentation to.
Any suggestions where I can find sample or test files? Would you happen
to have one you could share (has to be a safe, clean file - no
confidential information)?
My boss is hard core RPG'r and wants this done in RPG. Personally I
think it is more suitable for Java (or C shudders). Does anyone have
any experience either way?
Thanks
