Data edits are available for both text and bar code fields (simple

and combo). You can define two edits per field. For example, use the strip characters to remove the cents from a price field ($12.50 becomes $12) and then pad data on the right with nines ($12.99).

You can use data edits on fields where fixed data is defined.

NOTE: Fixed data can be added before or after performing the data edit. You will be prompted, “perform data edit before or after including fixed data?” Unexpected results may occur if you perform the data edit before including fixed data or vice versa.

You can select from the following data edits:

Make into price	Reformats the data as a price by adding the currency
	symbol (selected at the Configuration menu) and decimal
	point (decimal point, comma, etc.).
	NOTE: Use on text fields only.
Pad data field	Adds pad characters to fill in the specified field. Use this
	data edit to add leading or trailing zeros in bar code or
	price fields. For example, the operator enters 1 and the
	price prints as .01.
Extract Characters	Extracts the specified number of characters from the left
	or right side of the current field. The remaining
	characters are discarded.
