Alphanumerics, Incremental: Fixed Data Fields
39
RST
n
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 to 65,535 to specify the reset count.
The default reset count value is 0.
STARTDATA
Defines the starting value of the incrementing field.
Enter the appropriate value. Refer to “Using
Incremental Alphanumeric Data” on page 34 for
complete information on STARTDATA and
STEPMASK parameter values.
The maximum amount of STARTDATA characters
must be equal to or less than the number of
characters in the STEPMASK field. If the number of
data characters is less than the number used in
STEPMASK, the data will print right justified with
preceding spaces. Characters allowed for
incrementing fields (STEPMASK values of 0 - 9)
are numeric 0 - 9 and alpha A - Z (uppercase only).
Any printable character is allowed in
nonincrementing fields (STEPMASK values not 0 -
9).The STARTDATA must be enclosed within
standard printable character delimiters just as a
standard alphanumeric data field is enclosed within
delimiters.
CommentsThe Inc remental Alphanumeric Fixed Data Fields command is a
revised version of the standard IGP alphanumeric command, but
it does not replace the standard alphanumeric command.
