Hello,  
I have a need to create a flat file schema for some common SAP iDocs (ORDERS, INVOICE, etc…)  
To create it from scratch is a cumbersome and error prone exercise. Is there any out of the box solution available to achieve it.  
If yes, please explain.  
Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,  
Manoj

No i am not looking for suggestion related to NATURAL programming language.  
What i am looking for exactly is following:

1. Out of the box solution to convert an iDoc in IData format to a flat file.
2. SAP Adapter provided services to achieve it.

My suggestion is to post your question on a SAP forum. This forum is for questions relating to Software AG’s Natural programming language.
