In what file / line is CC data cleared from database?

[Tabula_Rasa]

I wrote another post asking this, but here, I'll simplify the question to what, exactly, I need:

 

What file / function / line during checkout_process does cc data get eliminated?

 

I need that process delayed until after I pass the CC data to OrderMotion.com. When I have the XML built after e-mail confimation at the bottom of checkout_process.php, everything is included except cc data.

 

I just simply cannot find the line. I've looked at class/orders.php and the Authorize.net module as well as in the functions files.

 

I don't want to keep the cc info, just delay its release from the object until I've been able to send the info.

 

Thank you.
