A sub-field contains data copied from the data of a regular
(source) field. The sub-field prints as a separate field. At data
entry, the operator enters only the data for the regular field. The
printer displays an underline for each character in the source
field. Type an X in the position of each character to copy. For
example, the source field has 10 characters. The last 4 positions
are marked to be copied for the sub-field.

When you specify a price field, the monetary symbol is generated
automatically at printing. You must allow for these symbols in
your field length for the Number of characters? prompt. If you
have a four-digit price, you would enter "6" as the number of
characters in the field, to allow for the dollar sign and decimal.
At data entry, the prompt for a price field might look like this
