   2. When a discount table is setup to "Use This Table Only When" another discount/premium grade factor is at a certain level, and the other discount/premium does not have a grade factor, then the discount table code will be used as the grade factor.  In this case, the discount table will also be converted from an alphanumeric table code to a numeric grade factor.
   3. If the Discount Table code is not all numeric, then the grade factor will be zero.
2. Allow Allows grade factors from other discount codes to include multiplication and division in addition to addition and subtraction.

Calculations

Now everywhere that discounts/premiums are calculated, the set up on the discount table will govern whether or not to take the discount/premium, based on the discount table of the US Grade.  If the US Grade is a letter, such as "S" for Sample Grade, then the grade factor will be zero.
