Re: 'Encountered unknown SPF code' ERROR

[Chi May <cfmay@CAPITOL-COLLEGE.EDU>]

Hi, Vitor:
I didn't get 'B37-04' in SPF file.  We don't need the SPF file.  I think SQR
generates the SPF file first and converts it into a report file and if you
don't put -KEEP flag, the SPF will be deleted.  The error occurs when the SPF
file is converted into a report.  Please let me know if you have any other
thoughts.
Thanks.
