Russ,
What you say is absolutely true and we are in total agreement. One definately
needs to understand your point that changing the PFE could indirectly change
the PFC as well.
But I stand by my statement. Yes, I can share the PBDs since our practice is
to freeze the PFE among applications. We freeze the PFE because when you
change it for an application then the PFE becomes application-specific and is
no longer enterprise-general.
(Needles to say, never ever think about changing the PFC without Powersoft's
blessing and/or you know what you are doing and are prepared for future
headaches.)
Regards,
Al Malin
