Alphanumeric String Creation Commands (Create)

The command table in Figure 5 lists, describes, and explains the use of all parameters that may be used in creating alphanumeric character strings, and specifies their location on the form you are creating. You may creat static/ dynamic, incremental, and dynamic incremental alphanumeric strings using variations of this command. Table 9 shows the results of Incremental Alphanumeric String Commands.
