**** first part is similar to UCF9007 ****
&V4& is to be carried forward to &V1&.
&V1& has a required breakdown by subassignment &V2& with breakdown type
3 or 4. Subassignment &V2& belongs to a characteristic compound with

of the item for characteristic &V3&. &V4& has a different fixed value
defined for characteristic &V3&, as opposed to &V1&.

breakdown by subassignment &V2& with breakdown type 3 or 4 because, in
this case, no value can be determined for the subassignment.
