4–23 Commands
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 prints.
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.
Enter STARTDATA and the appropriate value. Refer
to “Using Incremental Alphanumeric Data” on page
4–18 for complete information on STARTDATA and
STEPMASK parameter values.
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 is less than the number used in
STEPMASK, the data will print right justified with
preceding spaces.
Characters allowed for incrementing fields
(STEPMASK values of 0 – 9) are numeric 0 – 9 and
alpha A – Z (uppercase only). Any printable character
is allowed in nonincrementing fields (STEPMASK
values not 0 – 9).The STARTDATA must be enclosed
within standard printable character delimiters just as a
standard alphanumeric data field is enclosed within
delimiters.
