		aaaa =		Number of times to repeat the same data (0001-9999)
		b	=	Plus or minus symbol (+ for increments; - for decrements)
		cccc	=	Value of step for sequence (001-9999)
		dd	=	No. of digits for sequential numbering (01-99, default = 8)
		ee	=	No. of digits free from sequential numbering (01-99, default = 0)
		f	=	Numbering system
				0	Numeric (0 - 9)
				1	Hexadecimal (0 - F)
