Rule definitions can be created using two basic methods
A skeletal rule definition can be created by specifying the name of a new rule definition in the entry panel. The table specified in the entry panel can be either a new or an existing table. In this case, virtually all fields of the rule definition are empty.
A copy of an existing rule definition can be created using the INSERT option (described in Options of the Rule List Screen) in the Rule List (Rules of Table: ABC) screen. In this case, most fields of the new rule definition have the same values as the fields in the copied rule definition.
