2. If a field is defined as IDFn, it must be referenced as IDFn later for consistency. The same
applies for DFn.
3. If <IDFn> syntax is used for merging data into AFn or BFn, neither DFn, AFn, or BFn will
be incremented. The increment only takes place in the ~DFn command where the STEP
is specified.

A letter specifying the format of the data field.
B – binary, D – decimal, H – hexadecimal
Delimiter designating the start and end of static data for this bit
field. Replace (D) with any printable character, except the SFCC
and the slash character (/).
The static data of this static field. It is a mandatory parameter of bit
field with static data.
Identifies this field is an incremental bit field.
Specifies that the incremental data field will use the step method.
Enter STEP;. The STEP option replaces the STEPMASK option
that is used in Alpha and Barcode.
Enter a plus sign (+) or leave the field blank to increment
(default). Enter a minus sign (–) to decrement.
A decimal number specifies the amount to increment/decrement
each time the form is executed. The increment is at bit level and will
automatically wrap based on the field size.
The optional incremental repeat count parameters to specify the
number of times a particular field value is repeated before it is
incremented. The default repeat count parameter n is 1, which will
increment the field value each time it prints. The repeat count can
range from 1 to 65535.
The optional incremental reset count parameter to specify the
number of times an incremented field is printed before it is reset to
the starting value. By default, there is no reset count. The reset
count parameter n can range from 1 to 65535.
Defines the value of the field or the starting value of the incremented
field. If the field is dynamic, the value will be specified later in the
EXECUTE mode. The data must be specified within a pair of delimiters
(D). The delimiter (D) cannot be a "/" or SFCC character since the "/"
will comment out the rest of the line and SFCC is reserved for PGL
commands. If "R" or "S" is used as delimiters, the data pattern must not
comprise of the keywords in the incrementing options. Since the
delimiters could be different from one value to another, proper care
must be taken to avoid one of the letters mentioned above.
