Steve, interesting idea. Could you provide a skeleton proc on how you are proposing to do this. I am a Cloverleaf newbie, so please bear with. How would you insert this into the xlate? The data I am pointing at the table is coming from a VRL file, and I thought about running it through a proc before it hits the table with some IF statements that would take similar inputs, and send out a standard output. This table is for insurance company names, and there are lots of similar, but slightly different names.
