WF condition check issues

[Sample, Rick]

Hi Mike,

After reviewing a couple comments, I tired NX and fixes issue. 

The condition I am checking is zBUS2032.zOverallCreditStatus <a table fed attribute>

I just added NX to the condition and works. 
OverallCreditStatus = 'D' or
OverallCreditStatus NX   or
OverallCreditStatus =  <----- kept this in. Can't hurt. 

Note:
I just noticed I cannot add '' or ' ' without it short dumping in the condition editor. 
I know I tried that in 4.6c and in the WF log, it evals to ''. 
Odd!


Thanks and have a Happy Mardi, 
Rick
