Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields

The Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Field command specifies the location and size of the incremental dynamic data field during the Create Form Mode. STEPMASK and STARTDATA parameters are supplied in the Execute command during the Execute Form Mode. As with standard dynamic data fields, incremental dynamic data fields allow you to change the starting data without changing the form definition program. Additionally, you can also change the increment parameters with each new job without changing the form definition program.

The Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields command is a variation of the standard IGP/PGL bar code commands. Use this command with the appropriate parameters from the standard bar code command when automatic incrementing of dynamic bar code data fields is required. The Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields command format is shown and defined below. (Incremental command parameters are shown in boldface type; standard bar code command parameters and optional nonincremental parameters are shown in italics.)

STOP

IBFn;L	Identifies this bar code command as an Incremental
	Bar Code Dynamic Data Field command. The
	command parameter string identifies the incremental
	dynamic data field location on the form and defines the
	length of the bar code data. If these parameters are
	used, do not enter the STEPMASK and STARTDATA
	parameters in the Create Form Mode; enter them
	dynamically during the Execute Form Mode. To use
	the incremental dynamic data field:
	a. Enter IBF to specify an incremental bar code
	dynamic data field.
	b. Replace n with a number ranging from 1 to 255
	to identify the bar code string location on the

form. The standard bar code SR and SC command parameters specify the exact location of the field identified by n.
