All,
I am able to get all 5000 entries into the .bcc file.
The schema method to me did not work out - too many issues. My schema was not right, and even then it would not export.
So the road that worked:
1. Break up the sample XML into 2 groups - one defined the codes. The other defined the codes and descriptions.
2. Export my XLS file into CSV.
3. 2. Find a CSV to XML converter online - its free. Just google. It uses the sample XML you give and you parameterize where you need the column to go.
I had to run it twice - one to get part 1 and 2 (see #1).
4. Do a minor edit session to paste the .BCC headers, part 1 and 2.
5. Follow the PDI steps above... and I got my 5000 entries in !
Maybe I'll blog this and add the URL back here later - next week.
