Form Examples and Exercises6–10
Dynamic Alphanumeric Fields
Identify the location of the dynamic alphanumeric fields using the
alphanumerics command. Input the following alphanumeric command lines
after the HDUP;OFF command and before the Create Form mode END line.
A separate alphanumerics command sequence is used in order to assign
unique numbers to each dynamic data field. (If unique identifying numbers
were not required, these alphanumeric commands would be added to the
existing alphanumeric commands being duplicated to produce the fixed form
alphanumeric data.)
NOTE: Before the following dynamic data commands can be entered, delete
the form count parameter from the existing Execute command line
(the ;1 at the end of the Execute command line shown on the
program on page 6–6 ). The Form Count parameter cannot be used
when data is supplied dynamically. The Execute command line
should now read ~EXECUTE;SAMPLE and must be correctly
terminated. This is the Execute command for the first page of
dynamic data.
