Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields
213
The Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields command is a variation of
the standard IGP bar code commands. Use this command with the
appropriate parameters from the standard Bar Code command when
automatic incrementing of dynamic bar code data fields is required. The
Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields command format is shown and
defined below. (Incremental command parameters are shown in boldface
type; standard bar code command parameters and optional nonincremental
parameters are shown in
italics
.)

Identifies this bar code command as an
Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Field
command. The command parameter string
identifies the incremental dynamic data field
location on the form and defines the length of the
bar code data.
To use the incremental dynamic data field:
a. Enter IBF to specify an incremental bar code
dynamic data field.
b. Replace
n
with a number ranging from 1
through 512 to identify the bar code string
location on the form. The standard bar code
SR
and
SC
command parameters specify the
exact location of the field identified by
n
.
c. Replace
L
with a number equal to the number
of characters in the dynamic bar code string
(STARTDATA). The number of characters and
type of characters depends on the type of bar
code used. Refer to the individual bar code
descriptions for information on type and
quantity of data allowed for the specific bar
code type.
d. Dynamically enter the STEPMASK and
STARTDATA parameters in the Execute Form
mode. The length of the data must be less
than or equal to the value assigned to the
length (
L
) parameter. Refer to “Execute Form:
Incremental Dynamic Data” on page 65 for
more information.
Note If these parameters are used,
do not
enter the STEPMASK
and STARTDATA parameters in the Create Form mode;
enter them dynamically during the Execute Form mode.
