Match Start Position
Definition: Match Start Position determines the portions of symbols that will be
matched by defining the first character in the symbol (from left to right)
that will be compared with those of the master symbol, when Match-
code Type is set to Enabled or Sequential.
Function: For example, if Match Start Position is set to 3, the first 2 characters
read in the symbol will be ignored and only the 3rd and subsequent
characters to the right will be compared, up to the number of charac-
ters specified by Match Length.
Usage: Match Start Position is useful in defining specific portions of a symbol
for comparisons. For example, if a symbol contains a part number,
manufacturing date, and lot code info but the user is only interested in
the part number information, Match Start Position can be set to only
sort on the part number and ignore the rest of the characters.

Match Length

Definition: Defines the length of the character string that will be compared with
that of the master symbol when Match Start Position is set to 1 or
greater. When Match Start Position is set to 0, no comparison will
occur.
Usage: For example, if Match Length is set to 6 in a 10 character symbol, and
Match Start Position is set for 2, only the 2nd through 7th characters
(from left to right) will be compared.
