My automated processes reveal that all IDD spreadsheets, both XLS and ODS formats, have consistent column titles, as well as consistent column contents for columns A-F. To test this I introduced such inconsistencies that were all detected, so I think I can assume there are none in the original files. Some observations: 1 - there are some inconsistent naming between "prd01" and "prd1" in the names of files and directories (makes automation more difficult) 2 - would "prd01" of this UBL 2.0 update be confused with the "prd01" of UBL 2.0? Should we have "update" somewhere in the labelling of the files? In my work I've labeled this "UBL-IDD-2.0-update-prd01". 3 - ES and IT spreadsheets: cell E1 for version is the function =NOW(), which is constantly updated when the file is opened ... I think should be hardwired as in Japanese spreadsheets in cell H1 to reflect a true version date for each spreadsheet ... there are even different dates on different JP files showing how each one has been kept up with its own version tracking 4 - the JP spreadsheets have their version number in cell H1 while ES and IT spreadsheets have their version number in cell E1 ... I can accommodate this, but automation might be easier if *everything* was located in the same cells for all spreadsheets With thanks to the feedback from Chee-Kai, I've changed the genericode column references to be collapsed spreadsheet column titles rather than obscure abbreviations. As a byproduct of creating the aggregate genericode files, I have also included in the package a summary of the entire multi-language UBL IDD 2.0 Update PRD01 as a singe HTML file. This one file shows all UBL information entities with all languages summarized. Maximizing your browser on your screen is *highly* recommended for viewing this file ... your feedback on presentation improvements is welcome. All this can be found on my web site in a single ZIP file at: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/ubl/index.htm#ubl2idd2genericode Please let me know if you find anything wrong or unexpected with this package ... I think it is complete, but I'm too close to it to tell. If you decide to address the observations above for the 60-day review, I will produce another ZIP when revised spreadsheets are made available. . . . . . . . . .
