WF condition check issues

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Rick,

What I meant was to check your attribute code - does it populate the
container in all cases? I've seen where the swc_set_attribute statement
was skipped if no value was found, which would produce a null value.

You can't check '' in a condition. If the code isn't a problem then I
think the following should also cover it:

  status = 'D' or
  status =     or
not status EX

This will check for 'D', space, and null.
Regards,
Mike
