Alphanumerics, Incremental: Fixed Data Fields

Purpose	To automatically increment/decrement fixed alphanumeric data fields.
Mode	CREATE
NOTE:	In the command format below, incremental alphanumeric command
	parameters are shown in boldface type; standard alphanumeric command
	parameters and optional nonincremental parameters are shown in italics.
	Due to space constraints, the command parameters are separated into two
	lines. During actual IGP/PGL input, DO NOT separate command
	parameters.
Format	ALPHA
	[R;] [E;] [Cn;] I;	[DIR;] [UC;] SR; SC; VE; HE;[idir] STEPMASK;
	[RPTn;] [RSTn;] (D)STARTDATA(D)
	STOP
	I	Identifies this alphanumeric command as an
		Incremental Alphanumeric command; enter I.
	idir	The optional increment direction parameter to specify
		an increment (add) or decrement (subtract) to the data.
		Enter a plus sign (+) or leave the field blank to
		increment (the default). Enter a minus sign (±) to
		decrement.
	STEPMASK	Defines the increment amount (step), the number of
		character positions in the data field, and provides a
		mask to control the increment function on specific
		parts of the data. Enter STEPMASK, and enter the
		appropriate value. Refer to Table 4±1 on page 4±19 for
		complete information on STEPMASK parameter
		values.
	RPTn	The optional incremental repeat count parameter to
		specify the number of times a particular field value is

repeated before it is incremented. A repeated field value is useful when printing multiple rows/columns of identical labels before increasing to the next value.
