It didn't work. No obvious reason. planner results look okay, but amdump failed as soon as planner finished with all DLEs showing 'RESULTS MISSING' via amreport. Ran unforce-bump on DLEs, reset dumpcycle to its regular value, and amdump runs successfully. Not a problem, will steer a different course. Bryan
