The flip side of that is that if you have multiple people working
concurrently the variables tracking the work of one are highly
inappropriate for the work of another. If I have to back up somebody
who has started to install service, the CSI will tell me what I need
to know. Chances are that I will receive updated HOLDDATA before doing
anything else, so I may not care what he had previously selected.
