<pages />
<!-- field level errors -->
<fields>
<field>
<name>rootsubform[1].FFField1[1]</name>
<message>Mandatory Field</message>
</field>
</fields>
</validationerrors>

value
that holds UTF8-encoded XML data from the Forms service when the

and the result of any calculations. The result of a calculation
is indicated when the value of the FSAction data item is Calculate.
The result of a calculation is not always the same result as the
XML data returned after a form is submitted. A form is submitted
when the FSAction data item is a value of Submit.
