There are a lot of different any-to-any tools that would do this for you. You
will probably need to be a bit more specific though in the details of the
project. Mainly being load, OS, and automation need. Also pricing may be an
issue. Most mapping tools range greatly in price.

If you can run this on Windows and cost is a major issue, SysOnyx offers a light
weight, affordable tool called xmlLinguist at http://www.xmllinguist.com. The
map editor retails at $79.95 and the automation engine is free. xmlLinguist
translates a flatfile into XML and visa-versa. EDI X12 documents are also
considered "flatfile". Thus, you can translate the propriatary billing file into
XML, apply a stylesheet to get it into the 837I format, then translate that back
into the flat, X12 format. Like this:

billingfile -> xmlLinguistMap into XML -> XML Stylesheet to 837 structure ->
xmlLinguistMap into 837 file.

And through the free automation engine, this can be automated via a VBScript or
a commandline EXE. The key with xmlLinguist is affordability and leveraging a
relatively well known transformation language, XSL. With very little
out-of-pocket expense, you're up and running.

can anybody recomend a translator/mapper that would create an 837I
document from a 'flat file' created by a propriatary billing system?.
