These steps let you assign character restrictions not available
with Option 2.
1. Define your text or bar code field
as shown in Chapter 2.
2. Find Option 3 on the Format
Worksheet. Use this option for
detailed character restrictions.
3. Write S in box R3 after 3. Write
the S in the same row as the
field to which you are applying
restrictions.
4. In box R4, list the characters you wish to accept for this
field. For example, to allow only digits 1 through 5, write
12345. To allow only letters A through F, write ABCDEF.
You can list a maximum of 30 characters.
Place all of the characters that apply in box R4 after S.
Place quotation marks around the entire list, like this:
"123ABC"
A sample use for this option
is a field on a patient record
containing a patient’s blood
type. Acceptable characters
would be A, B, O, +, or -.
List them this way:
"ABO+-"
Example
Consider the example for Option 1. If you use Option 4 to
copy data into the non-fixed positions (4, 5, 6), make sure that
the number of characters copied is 3 and the start position in
the destination field is 4.
NOTE: If you set the start position in the destination field
to 1, the copied data will overwrite the fixed
positions.
