Form Examples and Exercises

Adding a Bar Code

11. Change the form definition by adding bar code type Code 39 (C39), one

of the codes available on the IGP/PGL. First, reopen the file. Bar codes

are defined in the Create Form mode; therefore, the Bar Code command

must be entered before the End command line. In the Bar Code

command, specify type C39 and 0.8 inch height (Hn). Use a dynamic

bar code data field (BF) identified by the number (n) 1 with a length (L)

of 5. The actual data will be provided dynamically in the Execute Form

mode. Specify the starting row (SR) 35.7 and starting column (SC) 39,

and stop the command.

Enter

12. To dynamically input alphanumeric data fields, first identify the

locations for the data in the Create Form mode as part of the form

definition. Enter the locations in the existing Alpha command sequence

(or use a new Alpha command). In the Alpha command sequence, enter

the alphanumeric field (AF), the field number (n), length (L), starting

row (SR) and column (SC), and any vertical (VE) or horizontal (HE)

expansion. To enter this alphanumeric data in the existing Alpha

command sequence, the data must be entered before the existing Alpha

command STOP line.

Enter
