To use the repeat count parameter, enter RPT and

 

replace n with a numeric value ranging from 1 to

 

65,535 to specify the repeat count. The default repeat

 

count parameter is 1, which will increment the field

 

value each time it prints.

RSTn

The optional incremental reset count parameter to

 

specify the number of times an incremented field is

 

printed (on one or more forms) before it is reset to the

 

starting value. A reset count is useful when printing a

 

hierarchy of fields where a low±level field generates a

 

sequence of numbers, is reset, and the next higher field

 

level is incremented (such as in a unit/box/carton

 

application).

 

To use the reset count parameter, enter RST and

 

replace n with a number ranging from 1 to 65,535 to

 

specify the reset count. The default reset count value

 

is 0.

STARTDATA

Defines the starting value of the incrementing field.

 

Enter STARTDATA and the appropriate value. Refer

 

to ªUsing Incremental Alphanumeric Dataº on page

 

4±18 for complete information on STARTDATA and

 

STEPMASK parameter values.

 

The maximum amount of STARTDATA characters

 

must be equal to or less than the number of characters

 

in the STEPMASK field. If the number of data

 

characters is less than the number used in

 

STEPMASK, the data will print right justified with

 

preceding spaces.

 

Characters allowed for incrementing fields

 

(STEPMASK values of 0 ± 9) are numeric 0 ± 9 and

 

alpha A ± Z (uppercase only). Any printable character

 

is allowed in nonincrementing fields (STEPMASK

 

values not 0 ± 9).The STARTDATA must be enclosed

 

within standard printable character delimiters just as a

 

standard alphanumeric data field is enclosed within

 

delimiters.
