5. In box R5, write the left-most position in the field to be
counted. Field positions are numbered from left to right,
beginning with 1.
6. In box R6, enter the right-most position in the field to be
counted.
Entering data for incrementing fields
There are two ways to enter the first number in the
incrementing sequence:
•
Enter the first number using the Batch Data field
definition, as shown in Chapter 5, "Recording Batch
Information."
•
Use Option 1 to define the first number as a fixed
character.
NOTE: The first number in the sequence must contain
the same number of digits as the highest number
to be counted. For example, to count the
numbers 1 to 999, the first number in the
sequence must be entered as 001.
Fixing the First Number in the Incrementing Sequence
To enter the first number in the sequence automatically, use
Option 1 to define the first number. See "Defining Fixed Data"
in this chapter.
