What is the scope of a work field?
Input#1 calls Input#2 with a 'scope' of Subprocess, Related, or Detached. Work fields (and work files) are also defined with scopes of Subprocess, Related, or Detached.

The following rules apply:

A Subprocess work field will only survive a Subprocess level of Process Invocation.

A Related work field survives both Subprocess and Related Process Invocations.

A Detached work field survives all Invocations (and in general survives until the user exits Appx).


                            Input Process Invocation Type
              ------------------------------------------------------------
              | Invocation Type   | SubProcess |  Detached  |   Related  |
              |-------------------|------------|------------|------------|
              |                   |            |            |            |
              | SubProcess        |    Yes     |     No     |     No     |
  Work Field  |                   |            |            |            |
  Invocation  | Detached          |    Yes     |     Yes    |     Yes    |
  Type        |                   |            |            |            |
              | Related           |    Yes     |     No     |     Yes    |
              |                   |            |            |            |
