Windows scripting to parse a HL7 file

I have a HUGE file with a lot of HL7 segments. It must be split into 1000 (or so ) smaller files. Since it has HL7 data, there is a pattern (logic) to go by.

What is the HL7 ZDS segment used for ?

My very old HL7 parser has just hit a snag as it is now getting some messages with a ZDS segment present.

Is HL7 (HL7.org) message format expressable as BNF with LALR(1) Compatability????

Title says it all. Reposted this as a new messsage (orgiginally I asked for the BNF grammar of HL7).
