If you were to add a CP flag to that SDIS link it would cause the mbbo record 
to get processed whenever the field it was pointing to changed.  I would 
suggest pointing it to the SEVR field of the longout record, but make sure 
that you also set the mbbo.DISV field to something outside the range 0..3.

I'm not 100% sure this will work, but I think it should.
