A p p l y i n g F i e l d O p t i o n s
Field options further define text and bar code fields. The text, constant text,
or bar code field must be previously defined before you can apply any field
option to it. Define options immediately after the field to which they apply.
C o m b i n i n g F i e l d O p t i o n s
You can use more than one option with most fields. For example, you can
use Option 4 to copy data from another field, and then use Option 30 to pad
the field. When you use multiple options for the same field, you must place
the options in the order you want to apply them to your format.
R e s t r i c t i o n s
Some options cannot be used together. For example, incrementing (Option
60) and price field (Option 42) options cannot be applied to the same field.
Refer to the following sections addressing individual options for specific
combinations to avoid.
Option 4 (copy a field) is the only option that can be repeated for a single
field.
