DC Treatment

The concept encoded by this is slightly different than other End-of-life related data so it can not be transferred into new fields that encode related concepts, so we will keep it in the Centralized data.mdb's L Log table. It has been removed from CCMDB.accdb.

_dev_CFE_Data The field has a length of 50 and should be reduced to 2 now that that's the longest content.
