Using Functions

Functions are replaced by a string or numeric value. A function contains
one or more arguments and may be used multiple times in the same file.

%Field(FieldNumber) The function is replaced with the string in

Field(1).

Example Echo1="Printer Name"

Echo2=%Field(1) + %Field(2) + "-0" + %PNO
WaitSec=3

This code displays "Printer Name" on line 1 of the display and the results
of the strings contained in Field(1) and Field(2) with –0 and the next
printer number in sequence on line 2. The message displays for 3
seconds.

Using Strings

Strings can contain constants or functions. Use strings separately,
enclosed within quotation marks, or concatenated with a plus sign (+) in
between.

Example Echo1="IP" + "Addr:"

Echo2=%IPA
WaitSec=2

This code displays "IPAddr:" on line 1 of the display and the IP address
contained in the constant %IPA on line 2. The message displays for 2
seconds.
