Use PREV to return to the Field Menu for ST; then use FIELD TOGGLE to go
to the processing specification area.  Type IN $STATE, as shown in Figure

The edit statement insures that the state abbreviation entered in the

Post Office.  Note that this field can be omitted (the field type is
still optional), but if any value is entered, it must be a valid state
abbreviation.

Other checks that might be made on the STATE field are:

IN "CA", "NY", "FL"          Only 3 state codes (California, New York, or
                             Florida) are allowed and they must be all
                             uppercase.

NIN "GA", "Ga, "ga", "gA"    Do not allow any state code for Georgia.
