Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields
The Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Field command specifies the
location and size of the incremental dynamic data field during the Create
Form Mode. STEPMASK and STARTDATA parameters are supplied in the
Execute command during the Execute Form Mode. As with standard
dynamic data fields, incremental dynamic data fields allow you to change the
starting data without changing the form definition program. Additionally,
you can also change the increment parameters with each new job without
changing the form definition program.
The Incremental Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields command is a variation of
the standard IGP/PGL bar code commands. Use this command with the
appropriate parameters from the standard bar code command when automatic
incrementing of dynamic bar code data fields is required. The Incremental
Bar Code Dynamic Data Fields command format is shown and defined
below. (Incremental command parameters are shown in boldface type;
standard bar code command parameters and optional nonincremental
parameters are shown in italics.)

STOP
IBFn;L Identifies this bar code command as an Incremental
Bar Code Dynamic Data Field command. The
command parameter string identifies the incremental
dynamic data field location on the form and defines the
length of the bar code data. If these parameters are
used, do not enter the STEPMASK and STARTDATA
parameters in the Create Form Mode; enter them
dynamically during the Execute Form Mode. To use
the incremental dynamic data field:
a. Enter IBF to specify an incremental bar code
dynamic data field.
b. Replace n with a number ranging from 1 to 255
to identify the bar code string location on the
form. The standard bar code SR and SC
command parameters specify the exact location
of the field identified by n.
