Chapter 4 Form Exercise

12.To dynamically input alphanumeric data fields, first identify the locations for the data in the Create Form mode as part of the form definition. Enter the locations in the existing Alpha command sequence (or use a new Alpha command). In the Alpha command sequence, enter the alphanumeric field (AF), the field number (n), length (L), starting row (SR) and column (SC), and any vertical (VE) or horizontal (HE) expansion. To enter this alphanumeric data in the existing Alpha command sequence, the data must be entered before the existing Alpha command STOP line.

Enter AF1;7;38.7;19.3;3;3 AF2;11;43;20;2;2 AF3;31;47.3;20;2;1 AF4;33;51.3;20;2;1

13.Supply the dynamic data during the Execute Form mode (following the EXECUTE;PRACTICE line). Use the SFCC, specify the dynamic alphanumeric field (AF), bar code field (BF), the field number (corresponding to those just entered in the form definition), and the data itself. This method can be repeated to supply new data to each form printed by separating the pages of data with a form feed. Refer to “Execute Form: Dynamic Alphanumeric Data” on page 62.
