Incremented Static (Fixed) Alphanumeric Strings
To create a fixed incremental alphanumeric string use the following basic
command:
This command is identical to the Static/Dynamic Alphanumeric string
command except for the following added parameters.
Table 10. Fixed Incremental Alphanumeric String Command
Field Function Option/Modifier Selections
I; Specifies that this
command is an
incremental alphanumeric
command.
Enter I;
idir; Optional field specifying
whether the data field will
be incremented or
decremented.
Enter a +; or leave this field blank to increment in
a positive direction. Enter a -; to decrement the
data.
STEPMASK; This parameter is the
increment information field
that defines the number of
character positions in the
data field, the increment
amount for each position,
and which positions will be
incremented.
See the explanation following this table for how
to construct the increment information field.
RPTn; Optional parameter that
specifies the number of
times a field value is
repeated before it is
incremented.
Enter RPT followed by a numeric value from 1 to
65,535. The default repeat amount is 1, which
means that if you do not enter this parameter or
enter only 1, then the field will be incremented
each time it prints.
RSTn; Optional parameter that
specifies the number of
times an incremented field
will print before it is reset
to the starting point.
Enter RST followed by a numeric value from 1 to
65,535. The default reset value is 0, which
means that the field will not be reset.
