Option 4 (Copy Data)
You can create a field that uses data from another field. This is useful for
creating merged fields or sub-fields. You can copy the information from
multiple fields into one field by applying the copy procedure more than once.
Copy data is the only option you can apply to a field more than once.
The maximum number of characters defined in box T3 or B3 must allow for
the number of characters you will place in the field, including any price,
check digit, or fixed characters inserted by the printer. The maximum
number of characters in the field into which data is copied cannot exceed
2710 or the maximum number of characters permitted by the bar code.
Note: When copying from more than one field, copy into the destination
field from left to right.
