Chapter 3 Incremental Bar Code Fields
STARTDATA Defines the starting value of the incrementing field.
The maximum amount of STARTDATA characters
must be less than or equal to the number of
characters in the STEPMASK field. Characters
allowed for incrementing fields is based on the type
of bar code; refer to the individual bar code
descriptions for information on valid type and
quantity of data characters. The STARTDATA must
be enclosed within standard printable character
delimiters just as a standard bar code data field is
enclosed within delimiters.

Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields
The Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Field command specifies the
location and size of the incremental dynamic data field during t he Create
Form mode. STEPMASK and STARTDATA parameters are supplied in the
Execute command during the Execute Form mode. As with standard dynamic
data fields, incremental dynamic data fields allow you to change the start ing
data without changing the form definition program. Additionally, you can al so
change the increment parameters with each new job without changing the
form definition program.
