Execute Form: Incremental Dynamic Data

Purpose

Incorporates incremental/decremental capability to dynamic alphanumeric

or bar code data supplied as a part of the Execute Form mode.

Mode

NORMAL

NOTE:

In the command below, incremental Execute parameters are shown in

boldface type; standard Execute command parameters are shown in italics.

The general Execute format is shown on page 4–51.

Format

(cc)EXECUTE; formname [;PAGE n] [;FC] [;ICNTn] [;IRSTn]

ICNTn

Identifies the incremental form count to specify the

number of forms to generate with the incremental

fields automatically updated. Enter ICNT and replace

n with a value ranging from 1 to 65,535 to specify the

number of forms.

IRSTn

The optional incremental reset count parameter to

specify the number of forms to generate before

resetting all incremental fields to their starting values.

The reset count parameter is useful in dividing the total

number of forms generated into multiple groups of

identical copies. To use this parameter, enter IRST and

replace n with a value ranging from 1 to 65,535 to

specify the reset count (how many forms generated

before resetting the incremental fields). If the reset

count value is equal to or greater than the incremental

count value, the reset will never occur.

Example

The following forms were generated from ICNT6, IRST2. (To duplicate

incremental fields within a form, refer to page 4–25.)

form3
