Character
Offset Select a number of characters. This number
determines the first characters to be displayed
in the field starting at 0. You can display an
entire string or part of a string. You can also
display parts of the same string in different
string display fields.
For example, assume you have a string 12
characters long. The first eight characters
contain the tag address. The last four
characters contain the tag status. To display
only the status, specify a character offset of 8.
The address part of the string will not be
displayed. To display the address in a separate
field, create another string display field, specify
the same tag name and specify a field width of
8 and an offset of 0.
