Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields

Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields

The Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields command is a variation of the standard IGP bar code commands. Use this command with the appropriate parameters from the standard bar code command when automatic incrementing of fixed bar code data fields is required. The Incremental Bar Code Fixed Data Fields command format is shown and defined below. (Incremental command parameters are shown in boldface type; standard bar code command parameters and optional nonincremental parameters are shown in italics.)

IIdentifies this bar code command as an Incremental Bar Code command; enter I.

idir	The optional increment direction parameter to
	specify an increment (add) or decrement (subtract)
	to the data. Enter a plus sign (+) or leave the field
	blank to increment (the default). Enter a minus sign
	(-) to decrement.

STEPMASK Defines the increment amount (step), number of character positions in the data field, and provides a mask to control the increment function on specific parts of the data. Refer to “Incrementing Bar Code Data” on page 208 for complete information on STEPMASK parameter values.

RPTn	The optional incremental repeat count parameter to
	specify the number of times a particular field value
	will repeat before it is incremented. A repeated field
	value is useful when printing multiple rows/columns
	of identical labels before increasing to the next
	value. To use the repeat count parameter, enter
	RPT and replace n with a numeric value ranging
	from 1 through 65,535 to specify the repeat count.
	The default repeat count parameter is 1, which will
	increment the field value each time it is printed.
RSTn	The optional incremental reset count parameter to
	specify the number of times an incremented field is
	printed (on one or more forms) before it is reset to
	the starting value. A reset count is useful when
	printing a hierarchy of fields where a low-level field
	generates a sequence of numbers, is reset, and the
	next higher field level is incremented (such as in a
	unit/box/carton application). To use the reset count
	parameter, enter RST and replace n with a number
	ranging from 1 through 65,535 to specify the reset
	count. The default reset count value is 0.
