Alphanumerics, Incremental: Dynamic Data Fields

Purpose Automatically increments/decrements dynamic alphanumeric data fields.
Specifies the location and size of the incremental dynamic data field during
the Create Form mode; STEPMASK and STARTDATA parameters are
supplied in the Execute command during the Execute Form mode.
Mode CREATE
NOTE: In the command format below, incremental alphanumeric command
parameters are shown in boldface type; standard alphanumeric command
parameters and optional nonincremental parameters are shown in italics.
Format ALPHA
[R;] [E;] [Cn;] IAFn;L; [DIR;] [UC;] SR; SC; VE; HE STOP
IAFn;L
Commands
Identifies this alphanumeric command as an
Incremental Alphanumeric Dynamic Data Field
command. The command parameter string identifies
the incremental dynamic data field location on the
form and defines the length of the alphanumeric data.
If these parameters are used, the STEPMASK and
STARTDATA parameters cannot be entered in the
Create Form mode; they are entered dynamically
during the Execute Forms mode. To use the
incremental dynamic data field, perform the following
steps:
a. Enter IAF to specify an incremental
alphanumeric dynamic data field.
b. Replace n with a number ranging from 1 to 255
to identify the alphanumeric string location on
the form. The standard alphanumeric SR and SC
command parameters specify the exact location
of the field identified by n.
