Specifying Field Data
For fixed data, specify the data when you define the field with the ^R command.
For variable data, specify the data when you print the format with the ^P command.
For example, you would specify a field containing the store name with the ^R
command because the store name does not change from batch to batch. However,
you would specify a field containing a price with the ^P command because the price
may change with each batch.
