Any number of elements can be inserted in one line. Any number of lines can be inserted until the next option starts.

It is necessary to define the element to be specified before "!EGROUP".

The element not defined in the "!ELEMENT" option will be excluded, and a warning message will be displayed.

When the specified element exists in the same group, it will be ignored and a warning message will be displayed. All the elements belong to the element group named "ALL" (generated automatically). One group can be defined by dividing into multiple groups.
