[Dx4win] problem changing award flags

I had converted and also entered around 1600 QSOs into dx4win and I am current with all 8.05 files and updates.

Because of the file conversion, I was only able to check the Confirmed box appropriately for each QSO but I did not have the means of automatically Confirming the DXCC award submissions for these (mixed, band, and mode).

Every one of the confirmed QSOs was submitted to the ARRL by the manual card checking process.  Now I want to accomplish the following logical operation in dx4win but it is not working per the information in the support website:

if  Cfrm = Y
then set DXCC MIXED to c; DXCC BAND to c; DXCC MODE to c
if Cfrm is not = Y then do nothing


I tried doing this within Reports...Award Flags....Change Award Flags...
DXCC Mixed, Band and Mode.....Action = Submitted -> Checked
but for each and every possible combination the number 0 always appears and dx4win will not allow me to change that.

I want to do this without going through the comparison to the lotw site.

Is there a step I am missing or is it not currently possible?
Changing 1600 records one by one is getting very tiring.
