Workflow changes in EHP6

[Mike Gambier]

Interesting. The only other thing we had with binding were spurious expression issues, such as comparisons to fixed dates where we had to resort to opening the expression in SWDD and re-enter it again with the same fixed string value, e.g. '31.12.9999' and this seemed to prompt the WF Builder to interpret the string a little differently and set a Unicode-friendly type setting behind the scenes. 

Might be worth a try...
