Chapter 5. Defining Field Options

Option 1 (Fixed Data) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Fixed data is information (a company name or store number) you want to print on all labels. You can define fixed characters for an entire field or for part of a field.

Syntax	R,1,"fixed char" p
	R1. R	Option Header.
	R2. 1	Option 1.
	R3. 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 four and five. 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 6. As an alternative, you can apply Option 4 to copy data into the non-fixed character positions.
