When you copy this field into another field, the maximum
number of characters for the final field is 2710. Allow only as
many characters as you need, because extra characters use
up space. Also, if you are copying into a bar code field, the
maximum number of characters in the destination bar code is
determined by the bar code specification (UPCA-12, EAN-13,
etc.). You need to apply field options to manipulate the text
entered in this field. For example, you may want to copy data
from this field into another field. See "Option 4 Copy Data" in
Chapter 5 for more information.
In the following example, data is entered into four
non-printable fields and merged to form field 5, and is then
printed as a bar code. See "Merging Fields" in Chapter 5 for
more information.
