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.
