Try in Yahoo Mercator, I just joined.

You're right, the answer would probably bore the snot out of 'general' EDI-L
members, but in essence....

...without seeing the rules used, I'd guess off the top of my head you are
binding the series object path in one part of the rule
and then referring to that path again later in the rule (a REALLY poorly
documented restriction!).

You should look at passing INDEX($) and the entire series to your functional map
AS WELL AS the specific AMT Loop in which you are
interested. That will give you all the 'scope' you need to work within that AMT
loop and you should not run into binding problems as
long as you do your series functions only in that functional map.

(For non-Mercator types: I told you it would bore the snot out of you, didn't
I?)
