Execute Form: Dynamic Alphanumeric Data

Purpose

Incorporates the dynamic alphanumeric data into a previously identified

location on a form.

Mode

EXECUTE

Format

(cc)AFn; (D)ASCII text(D)

AFn

Indicates a dynamic alphanumeric field (AF) and its

data (n). Enter AF and replace n with the number of

the data field corresponding to the number used to

identify the field when it was defined with the

Alphanumeric command in the Create Form mode.

D

The printable character identifying the start and finish

of the alphanumeric data. Enter any printable character

other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a character used

within the data. The same character must be used at

both ends of the data field but will not be printed with

the data.

ASCII text

The group of ASCII characters (the alphanumeric

string) to print. Enter any of the standard ASCII

printable characters (except the character used as

delimiters described in the D parameter). The data

appears on the form at the location identified by n.

NOTE:

Commands can appear anywhere in the overlay text with PGL.

Comments

The location for the Dynamic alphanumeric data must have been previously

identified using the AFn;L parameters of the alphanumerics command in

the Create Form mode. Inputting individual commands enters the new data

into the identified location each time the form is printed.

You can repeat the (cc)AFn;(D)ASCII text(D) sequence to complete as

many data fields as you defined on the form in the Create Form mode. You

can also combine the Execute Dynamic Bar Code Data command in the

same Execute command sequence. Each “page” of dynamic data (the

dynamic fields, data, and overlay data) for the form must be separated from

the next page of new dynamic data by a form feed.
