Re: Date for WrkNetF type MI call

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please ignore this message.  I did some more debugging and found that
there is, in fact, data where I am showing all these spaces.  The data
is in my service program modules, but it comes back as spaces to my 
program.  Trying to figure out what's causing that right now.

Regards,

Jim Langston
