You'd think after all my decades doing this, that I would have seen this type 
of column before...  but I am baffled!   I was told this is a really old 
database, probably starting in 2.11 days.

Look at the attached print-screen, and look at the "billamt" computed column.  
The word "percent" is used in the computation as if it is a function, but I've 
searched for "percent" in the help screens and it doesn't exist.  Notice also 
that there is a column called "percent" in the table.

If the Percent column has a "50" in it, and the (IntPay + ActAmt) = 200,  then 
it takes 50% of 200 and returns 100 as the BillAmt.   But I've never seen 
syntax like that before!   How on earth does it even work?
