then the value in the dictionary is returned. If not found there, then
a search through the symbol tables is conducted. If there are no local
or global symbols named %{fieldName} then %{fieldName} is returned. If
there are local or global symbols, however, then an attempt is made to
resolve their values to a key in the merge dictionary. If the local or
global symbols exist, but cannot be resolved into values in the merge
dictionary, then they local/global value is returned.
This complex search allows aliases to be created for various merge fields
so that they may be accessed by different names. It also allows
redirection--if a field is missing in a particular merge, the global
or local symbol tables can suggest another field to use in its place.
Finally, it allows setting of default values in the local or global
symbol table. If the field is missing from the merge dictionary, then a
default stored in the symbol tables can be used.
