Hello!

Some additional ideas from somebody who watches the conversation:
1) Why do we need EFIS_IN_PROGRESS? Isn't EFIS_EMPTY enough? Both can't be
used to load the application anyway.
2) ".FisValid" suggest this is valid FIS entry while it doesn't need to be.
Why don't use separate name for valid and for invalid (empty or in progress)
fis tables? This could also save additional space used to mark
"valid/invalid" as this could be decided be the name.
