Hi Karl,

I just want to make sure I'm following this - we can enter mdates before 
the maturity date (we'll get a warning when we do), but those mdate 
won't show up in Cycstats or Repstats?  I think that's a new protocol - 
in fact, I'm pretty sure that a few months ago we removed mdates prior 
to mature dates from the system.  No problem changing entry procedures, 
but just want to make sure.
