Syntax:

$IM-FSA fsaname segment
... [field1[/picture/] operator operand1
... [field2[/picture/] operator operand2]
                .
                .
 ... [field10[/picture/[ operator operand10]

Parameters:

`field`	Segment field name; can be 8-character IMS field name or the corresponding COBOL record name.
`fsaname`	COBOL data name for the generated FSA; references the FSA in $IM-FLD.
`operand`	Value to test against `field` in a field verify, or actual `field` value in a field change.
`operator`	Valid operators for a field verify are: E Verify that `field` and `operand` are equal. G Verify that `field` is greater than `operand`. H Verify that `field` is greater than or equal to `operand`. L Verify that `field` is less than `operand`. M Verify that `field` is less than or equal to `operand`. N Verify that `field` is not equal to `operand`.
	Valid operators for a field change are: + Add `operand` from `field`. - Subtract `operand` from `field`. = Set `field` to value of `operand`
`picture`	COBOL picture; if not specified, AMB calculates picture from field length and field type.
`segment`	The segment referenced by the FSA; can be eight-character IMS segment name or the corresponding COBOL field name.
