   For instructions on completing a data entry panel and for a description of the RULESET NAME, TEST STREAM, RULE NAME, ROW, COL, and LEN fields, see the section Use the Rules Function Panels.

   Note: When removing a field that consists of a heading (like birthdate) and an area for data entry, remove both parts of the field by specifying the total length of both parts for LEN.

2. (Optional) Type the name of the field to be deleted in the VALUE OR DESCRIPTION field. You can either explain why this field was deleted or put a sample of the value being deleted in this field.

   A completed Add Rule Actions—Delete Field panel is shown next. The birthdate field is being removed.
