MPCLII Packet Reference Manual

✦The field number (0 to 99) must be unique. Monarch recommends starting at 1, instead of 0.

✦Do not use a field number more than once per format.

✦Define all fields in the order you want to image/print them.

✦Separate all parameters with a parameter separator (,).

✦End each field with a field separator ( p ).

✦Enter all information in CAPITAL letters, except words or phrases within quotation marks.

✦Include all parameters for a field unless documented as optional.

✦Define non-printable text fields before the field to which they apply.

✦Define options immediately after the field to which they apply.

✦Multiple options can be used with most fields. Options can be used in any combination except as noted with each definition.

✦Keep in mind that proportionally spaced fonts need wider fields than monospaced fonts. For variable field data, use a letter "W" to determine the maximum field size.

✦Do not place a new line (return) or any other non-printing character in a character string. However, a carriage return or line break after each p makes your formats easier to read. T,1,20,V,30,30,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0,0 p T,2,10,V,50,30,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0,0 p

✦Spaces are ignored, except within character strings.

✦Indenting options improves readability of your formats. T,1,18,V,30,30,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0,0 p

R,42,1 p
