$occcrc help missing something

Author: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp)

The help file for $occcrc says the following. "$occcrc can be set by $occcrc, and by xmlload (which sets $occcrc to equal the value of the crc attribute for the occurrence in the XML stream). Otherwise, it is set automatically when loading data from a database. " What it doesn't mention is that the CRC is not set for the occurrence if the entity is set to "No Updates". I can see the logic, but it would have saved me some significant time casting around to find out what was wrong if it was mentioned in the help text.

Iain, I've passed this on to documentation and an update will be done. Sorry abotu that, but at least we've helped your expertise on the functionality with all the R&D you had to work though!
