Re: aSub Question

in the snippet you send, INPA is missing a dollar sign for $(P):WF:REQUEST

However, when I uncomment the INPA field, asRequest routine no longer gets called when the waveform record is processed.  Looking at the TIME field in the aSub record I can tell that the records is getting processed each time I process the waveform record, regardless if the INPA field is commented out or not.
