  ****************************************************************
  When creating a new package, the RDz client code was sending an
  empty SCL to the host to update the package after it was created
  This caused the newly added SCL to be overridden, resulting in
  an empty package.
  

Problem conclusion

• Now, the Endevor RAM ignores the empty SCL from the RDz client
  if an SCL was used when creating the package.
