[EAS] Good thing the test was shortened

[Dave Kline]

You are correct Harold.

My assumption (and ya know where that gets me) was that the EAT would be in full and include the EOM.
And that then would clear a stuck EAN.
But then if the box is stuck in an EAN would it ignore the EAT altogether?
And weren't some EAS box manufacturers recommending that if the EAN got stuck in my box for instance and I didn't forward an EOM, that I should send an RWT.
The theory being that the EOM from the RWT would clear the EAN on the boxes downstream from me.
Guess we'll never know.
Jeeze! It's all becoming too confusing for me.
We'll see what happens on the 9th and try to figure it all out then.

Thanks for clarifying my ASSumptions.

Dave
