capturing pay data when order = 0

**I guess this is better suited to the coders list, although there doesn't
seem to be much action here these days:

On one of the sites I oversee there are cases when an order's total is equal
to 0 and payment data must be entered (using purchase order plus or simple
validation).

Even though the option to enter payment info is available - by
way of the free VC module that keeps Merchant from skipping all that when
order
total = 0, the info entered does not get written into orders.dbf Pay_Data
field. Interestingly though, a numeric value does still get written into
the pay_id field representing the module that collected the info.

Does anyone know what I might need to do to get the payment info written
into orders.dbf even when oreder total=0?

It did get written <G>...I think what you need is to modify the admin
function to read Pay_ID with "null" PayData field equals "0.00".

Ah... I was looking in the wrong place(s) for the spot to hack. Twasn't in
oui_sop.mv, twasn't in Poplus.mv, twasn't even in lib.mv or db.mv. Just
needed to omit one little bit of code in merchant.mv
