Okay, I'll take a stab....

Maybe should be:


>         upc=item[1][11..11]&item[1][13..17]&item[1][19..24]
>         code=item[1][25..31]
>         descrip=item[1][33..63]
>         dept=item[1][73..75]

Because in your ex.err item is {{xxxxxx}} which means a sequence made up 
of one sequence.  So when you say item[11] that doesn't work because the 
top-most level of item only has a length of one.  You should be 
referencing item[1][11].
