AM02.1 - Methods

This program defines the methods that asset books use for calculating
depreciation, replacement cost, and insurance values. Methods are set up
globally. Standard methods are delivered and hard-coded with the product. This
is an optional program that allows for additional user-defined methods to be
created. User-defined methods can be one of three types: compute statements,
annual percent tables, or units of production tables (annual or by period).

                 (straight line; 125, 150, 175, and 200 percent declining
                 balance; and sum of the years digits) and optional user-defined
                 methods.

    AMMETHOD   - Primary file. Used to store the Lawson-defined and optional
                 user-defined methods that asset books use to calculate
                 depreciation, replacement cost, and insurance values.

    AMTABLEPCT - Used to store user-defined percent table methods that asset
                 books use to calculate depreciation, replacement cost, and
                 insurance values.

    AMUOPPDS   - Used to store user-defined annual and period units of
                 production table methods that asset books use to calculate
