Chapter 4 Form Examples

Example: Dynamic Data

The process of executing dynamic alphanumeric and bar code data fields is explained in the following exercises. Each stage includes printing the program; however, the total program may be entered as one unit. Each stage offers the option of choosing features applicable to specific needs.

Basic Design

The SAMPLE program below, shown in Figure 47, is a basic design in CP.DP format and defined by standard Create Form mode command sequences. The label is duplicated twice horizontally on an approximate form size of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, with three bar code locations specified per label. The result is two “forms”: two labels per form, four labels printed on one 8 1/2 x 11 inch “page.” On the next few pages, you will add bar code data, dynamic alphanumeric data, and dynamic bar code data. Then you will execute and print the complete form (Figure 48).

When entering command lines, remember to correctly terminate each line with a line feed or carriage return with line feed. Use your system commands to open a file for the label program. When you have finished, exit the file (if necessary for your system) and print.
