I think this is pretty much impossible (unless irrops/~1hr delay and you get the revised itin message) ...I've never had success with SDCing this one.

Is it because the system was looking for JN and could not find any? I suppose an agent could have done something for me?

Thanks.
Hmm, i've never had trouble getting SDC options to show when I'm in R - perhaps its different with JN. Where you trying to change the routing at all?
