[DXBase] LOTW---correcting entries

When I uplodated my N5IN contacts I failed to define my ITU=7 and WAZ=4 
in the TQSL (as opposed to TQSLCert) program. I ended up submitting 
20,000 Q's all without the WAZ and ITU.
Seeing nothing in the FAQ about how to correct such an error I took a 
chance and went through the submission processing a second time, this 
time I took care to include this information (which is done inside the 
TQSL program).
I then resubmitted the new 'signed' file, about 3 MB, via e-mail as an 
attachement and lo and behold after a while I got an automated e-mail 
back, with lots of warnings about 'QSO replaces existing record.'
The final line was 'no errors enountered'.
Then I went back on the web and lookd at a few of my q's and now they 
all have the correct ITU and WAZ information. You click on 'Details' to 
see the extra information, such as zones, counties etc.
So it appears as long as all the required information in a Q has not 
changed that it is possible to make such an 'addition'.
Anothe approach would have been to 'withdraw' all my Q's and start 
fresh, but I don't see where there is any such option. Glad the 
procedure I used worked.
The FAQ is not helpful as regards corrections, in fact it says nothing 
about them.
