Log Data - Error 10 & 86.

Tue Apr 17 14:25:10 UTC 2012

Never mind, I see at http://www.pstnet.com/forum/Topic5903-2-1.aspx 
that, as I suspected, Log Data was disabled for an entire 
*Procedure*, not just for an InLine object.

(Note to all, although I check the PST Forum almost daily (as a sort 
of personal brain teaser), I almost never respond there because 
people confuse the PST Forum with PST Web Support, and I do not wish 
to contribute to that confusion.  If people want my attention then 
they need to post here, as Bo did).
