<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">I was using a format exit in the fst of a database. Now, I convert the database to ABCD. As format exit are not recognized in ABCD, I tried to write commands in a ABCD fs to get the same result.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Normally, formatting commands work both for displaying (pft) and extracting (fst). Especially, cisis formatting commands introduced in WinIsis work in both type (pft and fst). However, I recently
noticed that ABCD does not accept all ciisis formatting commands in a fst. <o:p>
