    AL> Try renaming it to STATUS (all uppercase.)   
      
   Hmm... I'm not sure that will do anything (as I would have expected an error   
   in the logs if it were the case).   
      
   To be honest, I dont know how they work?   
      
   So I renamed it uppercase, but the req file is still sitting in the inbound

   What triggers the req to be processed?   
      
   (And I'm assuming sending a req file is a FREQ right?)
