Alphanumerics, Incremental: Dynamic Data Fields

Comments The Incremental Alphanumeric Dynamic Data Fields command is a variation of the standard IGP Alphanumeric command, but does not replace the standard alphanumeric command.

As with standard dynamic data fields, incremental dynamic data fields allow the starting data to be changed without changing the form definition program. Increment parameters can also change with each new job without changing the form definition program.

Duplicating Incremental Alphanumeric Fields — Incremental alphanumeric fixed and dynamic data fields are duplicated horizontally using the HDUP command and vertically using the standard VDUP command. Duplicated incremental fields increment in left-to-right,top-to-bottom order. The following examples illustrate the results of duplicated incremental fields.
