Problem

Solutions: You can create a secondary file that contains {INPUT} messages in each field in a record, rather than put the {INPUT} messages in a primary file:

Secondary File:
1. Use the {INPUT} command to create the message (Shift-F9,3)
2. Press F9 to get {END FIELD}.
3. Continue inserting the {INPUT}'s and {END FIELD}'s as needed.
4. Use Shift-F9,2 to insert {END RECORD}.

Example:
{INPUT}Please type the applicant's social security number~{END FIELD}
{INPUT}Please type applicant's phone number~{END FIELD}
{END RECORD}
==========================================================

Primary File:
1.      At the positions where the {INPUT} command would usually be placed, insert the appropriate {FIELD} commands.
2.      Save, clear the screen, and merge.

Example:
APPLICANT FORM

{FIELD}1~ {FIELD}2~
