Dynamic Alphanumeric Fields

Identify the location of the dynamic alphanumeric fields using the alphanumerics command. Input the following alphanumeric command lines after the HDUP;OFF command and before the Create Form mode END line. A separate alphanumerics command sequence is used in order to assign unique numbers to each dynamic data field. (If unique identifying numbers were not required, these alphanumeric commands would be added to the existing alphanumeric commands being duplicated to produce the fixed form alphanumeric data.)

NOTE: Before the following dynamic data commands can be entered, delete the form count parameter from the existing Execute command line (the ;1 at the end of the Execute command line shown on the program on page 6±6 ). The Form Count parameter cannot be used when data is supplied dynamically. The Execute command line should now read ~EXECUTE;SAMPLE and must be correctly terminated. This is the Execute command for the first page of dynamic data.
