Chapter 2 Command Codes

Execute Form: Dynamic Alphanumeric Data

Purpose Incorporates the dynamic alphanumeric data into a previously identified location on a form.

Mode EXECUTE

Format (cc)AFn; (D)ASCII text(D)

(cc)The Special Function Control Code.

AFn

Indicates a dynamic alphanumeric field (AF) and its

 

data (n). Enter AF and replace n with the number of

 

the data field corresponding to the number used to

 

identify the field when it was defined with the

 

Alphanumeric command in the Create Form mode.

(D)The printable character identifying the start and finish of the alphanumeric data. Enter any printable character other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a character used within the data. The same character must be used at both ends of the data field but will not be printed with the data.

ASCII text The group of ASCII characters (the alphanumeric string) to print. Enter any of the standard ASCII printable characters (except the character used as delimiters described in the (D) parameter). The data appears on the form at the location identified by the value of n.

Note Be sure to enter Dynamic Alphanumeric Data after the Execute command and/or EVFU data but before any Overlay Data. (See the general Execute command format on page 59.)

Comments The location for the dynamic alphanumeric data must have been previously identified using the AFn;L parameters of the alphanumerics command in the Create Form mode. Inputting individual commands enters the new data into the identified location each time the form is printed.

You can repeat the (cc)AFn;(D)ASCII text(D) sequence to complete as many data fields as you defined on the form in the Create Form mode. You can also combine the Execute Dynamic Bar Code Data command in the same Execute command sequence. Each “page” of dynamic data (the dynamic fields, data, and overlay data) for the form must be separated from the next page of new dynamic data by a form feed.
