Input Forms Menu
The Input Forms Menu, shown in Figure 5-14., is used to specify one or more forms whose
data is to be written to the output file. You can specify as many input forms sequences as
there are forms in the forms file, or you can specify as few as one input forms sequence.
Each input forms sequence may contain a single form name or it may contain up to 10 form
names. The first form in the sequence (or the only form) is the reformat identifier. All
reformat identifiers must be unique to the reformat file. Subsequent form names in the
sequence need not be unique.

Figure 5-10.)
Care must be taken when you specify a sequence of forms. The form names following the
reformat identifier must be in exactly the same order as the forms appear in the batch file.
