342.2,.02     MULTIPLE GROUP?        0;2 SET (Required)

                                '0' FOR NO;

              DESCRIPTION:      If an AR Group can be defined multiple times, then this field would be set to Yes.  An example of a
                                Group that would be defined multiple times is the Billing Agency since a site may have more than
                                one billing agency.  However, other groups such as the place the site sends Bank Deposits should
                                not be defined more than once.

              DESCRIPTION:      This is the VA FileMan input template that is used to edit this AR group.  Since fields within this
                                file are either shared or specific to a particular type of group, it is necessary to define input
                                templates that control which fields are asked of the user.
