Description:
1. What logic is used in assigning the value of the FMT field?

2. Where does the FMT value get set? (Is it coded in a program -- or controlled by some table?)

Resolution:
1. Logic for assigning FMT field:

If Leader/06 = 'b' or 'p', FMT = MX
If Leader/06 = 't', FMT = BK
If Leader/06 = 'c', 'd', 'i', or 'j', FMT = MU
If Leader/06 = 'e' or 'f', FMT = MP
If Leader/06 = 'g', 'k', 'o', or 'r', FMT = VM
If Leader/06 = 'm', FMT = CF
If Leader/06 = 'a' and Leader/07 = 'a', 'c', 'm', or 'd', FMT = BK
If Leader/06 = 'a' and Leader/07 = 'b', 'i', or 's', FMT = SE

2. This logic is in the create_fmt program.
