When defining a merged field or a sub-field, you choose whether
to use the source characters before formatting or after formatting.
For example, characters in a bar code field are
◆ numbers before formatting
◆ bars after formatting.
Select A or B for the way you want the data to appear in the
merged field or sub-field.
When using all or part of a bar code to make a sub-field, if you
don’t want the check digit in the subfield, specify before
formatting.
