The processing specifications for advanced forms design allow you to:

    list of values, or a pattern.

 *  Test a check digit.

 *  Specify up to 20 global save fields.

 *  Assign a value to any field in the form, including save fields.

 *  Move values between fields in a form or, using save fields, between
    fields in different forms.

 *  Perform arithmetic calculations on data in numeric fields.

 *  Format data in a field either during data movement, or using the set
    of formatting commands.

 *  Dynamically alter the forms sequencing originally assigned to a form.

 *  Execute any of the processing specifications conditionally, depending
    on the value of a field.

 *  Perform processing specifications in different phases of form
    execution.
