Alphanumerics, Incremental: Dynamic Data Fields
41
Comments The Incremental Alphanumeric Dynamic Data Fields command is
a variation of the standard IGP Alphanumeric command, but does
not replace the standard alphanumeric command.
As with standard dynamic data fields, incremental dynamic data
fields allow the starting data to be changed without changing the
form definition program. Increment parameters can also change
with each new job without changing the form definition program.
Duplicating Incremental Alphanumeric Fields — Incremental
alphanumeric fixed and dynamic data fields are duplicated
horizontally using the HDUP command and vertically using the
standard VDUP command. Duplicated incremental fields
increment in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order. The following
examples illustrate the results of duplicated incremental fields.
Example The following program will produce the Incremental Alphanumeric
data example shown above. The program elements are also
defined. (Refer to the command format on page 38.)
