The message structure below places a graphic field in a format.

You can have up to 100 graphic images. The graphic record can be placed in a format data stream anywhere following the format header record.

Graphics are counted as fields, just like text or bar code fields. When determining the number of fields in your format, count each graphic as a separate field.

Syntax G##, ROW, COLUMN p

If graphic fields overlap with other fields in the data stream, the last field in the data stream will dominate.
