Combo (combination) fields pull data from other fields (text or bar code), eliminating the data from being entered by an operator more than once. These are also known as merged fields. Each combo field can pull data from up to 10 different fields. Combo fields have three parameters:

Field Number

Field number from which data is copied.

 

For example, 3 is field #3.

Starting Position

Position number in the source field of the first character to

 

be copied. Character positions are numbered 1 to 99,

 

starting from the left. For example, 1 is the character in

 

the first position to be copied.

Number of Digits

Number of characters to copy. The range is 1 to 99. For

to use

example, 3 copies three characters.

 

In cases where the source field is shorter than the combo

 

field, you have the option of filling (padding) data from the

 

left or right or none. You are also prompted for the fill

 

character.
