Commands 4–58
RPTn The optional incremental repeat count parameter to
specify the number of times a particular field value is
repeated before it is incremented. A repeated field
value is useful when printing multiple rows/columns of
identical labels before incrementing to the next value.
To use the repeat count parameter, enter RPT and
replace n with a numeric value ranging from 1 to
65,535 to specify the repeat count. The default repeat
count parameter is 1, which will increment the field
value each time it is printed.
RSTn The optional incremental reset count parameter to
specify the number of times an incremented field is
printed (on one or more forms) before it is reset to the
starting value. A reset count is useful when printing a
hierarchy of fields where a low–level field generates a
sequence of numbers, is reset, and the next higher field
level is incremented (such as in a unit/box/carton
application).
To use the reset count parameter, enter RST and
replace n with a number ranging from 1 to 65,535 to
specify the reset count. The default reset count value
is 0.
STARTDATA Defines the starting value of the incrementing field.
The maximum amount of STARTDATA characters
must be equal to or less than the number of characters
in the STEPMASK field. If the number of data
characters in dynamic alphanumeric data commands is
less than the number used in STEPMASK, the data
will print right justified with preceding spaces.
(Leading spaces are not provided for bar code data.)
For dynamic bar code data, the type of characters
allowed for incrementing fields is based on the type of
bar code. Refer to the individual bar code descriptions
in the “Bar Codes” chapter for information on valid
type and quantity of data characters. The STARTDATA
must be enclosed within standard printable character
delimiters just as a standard data field is enclosed
within delimiters.
