Cameron, Sadly I have no dataclas with extended specified and I do not want to have to produce more dataclas specifications at the moment.
When you say " We have seen some issues with XCOM, SYNCSORT, FILEAID and ISPW" could you be more specific please?

You can change the members but you still need to test and promote. We have seen some issues with XCOM, SYNCSORT, FILEAID and ISPW.
