Emerald doesn't really matain a "batch" concept for the set of
transactions
that it wrote out. It just writes out x records and stops. You can go
into the ExternalTrans table and set the Type value for the records you
need to re-batch to 0, and then go into Emerald and click the batch out
button and it will re-write them. They are time stamped via the ReqDate
field, so you can probably do something like:

Update ExternalTrans
Set Type = 0
Where ReqDate > '9/16/99 10:23'

to get everything after a certain date/time.
