Sorry to ask this question here but I'm not sure how to reach out to Scott to ask... When I try to access Scott Klement's website I get blocked and according to our network admin, sites from Russia are blocked.

Can someone confirm if this is the case?

Scott's site is a valuable resource but I'm out of luck and will have to use it outside my office's network.

Thanks

Your dsec data structure looks to be missing a line. I think Scott's standard one is this.
D dsECBytesP 1 4I 0 INZ(256)

Whats in dsECMsgDta after you get the 28 bytes back
