A data conversion system and method are provided. Specifically, under the
present invention, a collection of data records is received from a first
application. The data records include data fields for storing data
entries, with at least one of the data fields including multiple data
entries. Each data entry is tagged with a corresponding data header (meta
data) and individually arranged, along with a corresponding record
identifier, into a separate row of a table. This eliminates any multiple
value data fields so that the data can be more accurately manipulated and
reported by a second application.
