Hi Chris,
Perhaps this is what you are after? It outputs what you specified.
(ah, I see that David beat me to it with a much shorter approach ;)
Cheers,
Abel

I need to take the following XML document (a shipping delivery) and
output as a fixed length file. The fixed length file has expected
repetitions within it, as follows:
1) The first output record -- REC1 -- is the shipping header.
2) The second output line(s) -- REC2 --are the purchase order(s). Each
line of text will contain least one and up to two purchase orders.
3) The final output line(s) --REC3 -- are the containers. Each line of
text will contain at least one and up to four containers.
