The issue is physical, since a "file" doesn't exist and the program needs a file, management feels that it would not pass audit standards that could result in billing or other legal issues related to the data transfer. Essentially the file is a log of what was loaded. They don't trust piping it into the app straight from the database. From my point, it ain't' worth the fight.
