Tally Genicom 6600 Printable Data Delimiter, Spaces, Command Parameters, Form And Logo Names

Chapter 9 PGL Command Set Standards

Printable Data Delimiter

All printable data (excluding overlay data), alphanumeric characters, and barcode data must be enclosed by a printable data delimiter. This delimiter is always a printable character that the printer recognizes, telling it to print the data that follows until it encounters the same character again. Any printable character may be used except the SFCC or the slash (/). The same printable character must be used at both ends of the printable data. The position of the printable data delimiter in the command format and in any examples in this manual will be indicated by a .

NOTE: Only characters that do not appear in the printable data field can be used as delimiters.

Spaces

Do not use spaces between the command parameters unless specifically required.

Command Parameters

The majority of the PGL commands have multiple command parameters. Some parameters are required and some are optional. There are several selections you may enter for some of the required parameters (for example, SFCC). These parameters must be separated by a semicolon.

Form And Logo Names

Names identifying forms or logos may be no longer than eight characters. The document name is used in the EXECUTE Form Mode to identify the form or in CREATE Form Mode to identify the logo to be used for printing.

NOTE: Do not use spaces in the document name.
