  end of this month
  NOTE: there are no Modify Work Dates for Crew Availability
  
  Now go to the Graphical Resource View application and insert a
  new record
  Resource List=DLINE, Calendar=DAY EAGLENA, Shift=DAY
  Under Restrict Resource Availability, click New Row, Data
  Source=AMCREW, Query Name=My Crew, Where
  Condition=AMCREWTYPE='Crew Type above'
  Go to the Graphical View and data is returned
  Now go to back to the Crews application and recall the record

  In the resulting dialog box scroll down to Modify Work Dates
  data area and enter a new row for Reason Code MEET, Work Date= 2
  days in future, Start Time and Stop Time =any entry during the
  shift that represents 1 hour
  Click OK in Dialog box
  Return to Graphical Resources View
  Recall record DLINE
  Common Actions Refresh Resource List
  Click on Graphical View
  
  RESULT: the data is no longer there.
  This is due to the line that was entered in the Modify Crew
  Availability dialog box in the Crews application
  If this entry is removed and a refresh is done in GRV the data
  is once again visible
  
  EXPECTED RESULT: An entry in the Modify Crew Availability dialog
  box in Crews application should not cause the data to disappear
  in GRV and in the GRV the corresponding date for the MEET entry
  in Modify Crew Availability dialog box in Crews application
  should have turned the appropriate color to indicate modified
  availability
