Alphanumerics, Incremental: Fixed Data Fields

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 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.

Comments The Incremental Alphanumeric Fixed Data Fields command is a revised version of the standard IGP alphanumeric command, but it does not replace the standard alphanumeric command.
