EBS Vat declaration issues

What i am wondering is why there is nobody who has a good realiable working solution for the VAT declaration in Oracle E-business suite. I am working for a company who has legal entities (ORG_ID) in about 10 different countries. Each month and each quarter the rumble starts again. The VAT declaration which i have to do out of queries, excelsheets and copy-pasting.

Some former users had this issue with payments. They have taken up the issue and started APRO as the oracle payment gateway.

Shall we do the VAT hell ????

if somebody has an exellent solution please let me know. We have used Wordtax, esstax and now do it ourselves throug scripting. But that cannot be!

C# Brainteaser compiler

Should this code compile? Does it? What does it mean?

using System;

class Test
{
enum Foo { Bar, Baz };

static void Main()
{
Foo f = 0.0;
Console.WriteLine(f);
}
}

Answer: This shouldn't compile, but it does under the MS compilers for both C# 2 and 3 (and probably 1 as well - I haven't checked). It shouldn't compile because only the literal 0 should be implicitly convertible to the default value of any enum. Here the decimal is 0.0. Just a little compiler bug. The result is to print Bar as that's the 0 value of the Foo.
