NiceWatch User Guide
This command allows you to use some other table with the label file and not the one, that
was connected to the label file at design time.
This other database table will only be used when printing labels, the label file will remain
intact with connection to the original table.
The new database table should be of the same type as original table. For example, you
cannot change the table from dBase to Paradox. The structure of new table has to be
identical to the original one.
You can use table from the database that is already connected to the label or from some
entirely different database.
TEXTQUALIFIER
TEXTQUALIFIER %
Text-qualifier is the character that embeds a data value that is assigned to a variable. If
the data value includes space characters, it must be included in the text-qualifier.
Otherwise only the data until the first encountered space character is assigned to the
variable.
The default delimiter for the command SET is double-quote character. Because the
double-quote character is used as shortcut for inch unit of measure, sometimes it is
difficult to pass the data with inch marks in the JOB files.
The work-around is to use the double double-quote character instead of just one, but in
this case already the incoming data stream needed to be changed. You can leave the
incoming data stream as-is and change the delimiter you want to use.
For example:
TEXTQUALIFIER %
SET Var1 = % EPAK WRP BD 12"X10 7/32" %
The command TEXTQUALIFIER set the delimiter to percent sign (%). The command
SET can then use new delimiter character (%) for specifying the value to the variable
Var1.
Note:
The command TEXTQUALIFIER is persistent (during single program session). If your
JOB file sets the TEXTQUALIFIER to some value, it will be used until set to another
value.
