R

Option Header.

 

R2.

fixed char

Characters to insert. Enclose in quotation marks. If you are defining fixed

 

 

characters for part of a field, place underscores(_) in non-fixed positions.

 

 

Any spaces in the phrase are fixed characters. Range: 0 - 2710.

 

 

Note: Underscore characters are stripped out and the data is

 

 

compressed if no data is supplied by the batch and the field length

 

 

is variable.

 

Example

R,1,"_ _ _%$_ _ _

_ _" p

Uses fixed characters (%$) in positions 4 and 5. The other positions are variable.

Example R,1,"MONARCH" p

“MONARCH” appears as a fixed field in this example.

To fill in the non-fixed portion of the field, see “Defining Batch Data Fields” in Chapter 5. As an alternative, you can apply Option 4 to copy data into the non-fixed character positions.
