Using Functions to Manipulate Label Data
Using Functions to Manipulate Label Data
The labeling software enables you to work with variable values on the label, manipulate the values
and use them with other label objects. The labeling software offers a group of functions that help you
work with the variable values. There is always some input to the function that the function manip-
ulates and always some output that is stored to a function-generated variable. The function-generated
variable can be linked to label objects or used in other functions.
There are many functions available, such as Concatenate (for linked fields), Subset, Date addition,
FACT, HIBC and Visual Basic script. Visual Basic script is a powerful function allowing you to per-
form advanced data manipulation.
