Form Examples and Exercises

6–10

Dynamic Alphanumeric Fields

Identify the location of the dynamic alphanumeric fields using the

alphanumerics command. Input the following alphanumeric command lines

after the HDUP;OFF command and before the Create Form mode END line.

A separate alphanumerics command sequence is used in order to assign

unique numbers to each dynamic data field. (If unique identifying numbers

were not required, these alphanumeric commands would be added to the

existing alphanumeric commands being duplicated to produce the fixed form

alphanumeric data.)

NOTE: Before the following dynamic data commands can be entered, delete

the form count parameter from the existing Execute command line

(the ;1 at the end of the Execute command line shown on the

program on page 6–6 ). The Form Count parameter cannot be used

when data is supplied dynamically. The Execute command line

should now read ~EXECUTE;SAMPLE and must be correctly

terminated. This is the Execute command for the first page of

dynamic data.
