example 11-1 account detail screen bms macro definitions

The surname field is named LNAMED in the macro, but later is referred to as the
SNAMED field. Pg 227 example 11-4 has SNAMEDL, pg 228 example 11-5 has SNAMEDO,

Example 11-3 refers to the fields as SNAMEM..., which is different from the later
SNAMED... references.
