Commands

Execute Form: Dynamic Bar Code Data

Purpose

Incorporates the dynamic bar code data into a previously identified location

on a form.

Mode

EXECUTE

Format

(cc)BFn; (D)data field(D)

BFn

Indicates a dynamic bar code field (BF) and its data

(n). Enter BF 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 bar code

command during the Create Form mode.

D

The printable character (quotation marks for example)

identifying the start and finish of the bar code 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.

data field

Enter the characters for the bar code data. The type of

characters allowed in the data varies with the type of

bar code. Refer to the data field descriptions for the

selected bar code types.

NOTE:

Commands can appear anywhere in the overlay text with PGL.

Comments

The bar code location must have been previously identified using the

BFn;L or BFn parameters of a bar code command in the Create Form

mode. Then use the appropriate bar code command to enter the bar code

data in that location. Inputting individual commands enters new bar code

data into the identified location each time the form is printed.

You can repeat the (cc)BFn;(D)data field(D) sequence to complete as many

bar code data fields as were defined on the form in the Create Form mode.

You can also combine the Execute Dynamic Alphanumeric 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.
