Comments
Dynamic form commands allow a boilerplate form to be
transmitted once. The data that changes with each form is
provided in the variable data fields after the Dynamic Form
command is terminated. Variable fields can include bar code data
fields.
The Dynamic Form commands consist of the primary Dynamic
Form command referenced above, which enables dynamic form
generation, and three additional commands listed below. These
additional commands are added to the primary command
according to your particular dynamic form requirements:
•Dynamic Form Field Length (defined on page 67) specifies the
number of data bytes expected to fill a variable data field.
•Dynamic Form Copy Fields (defined on page 69) copies fields
within the form.
•Dynamic Form Repeat Form (defined on page 71) repeats the
complete form.

Represents the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your VGL con-
figuration.
Specifies the Dynamic Form command. Enter B to
begin dynamic forms.
The Graphics Mode CR. Enter the SFCC for your
VGL configuration immediately followed by - to ter-
minate the initial Dynamic Form command
sequence.
Represents the dynamic form data. Any text,
graphics command sequences, or Dynamic Form
Field Length, Copy or Repeat commands are
entered as part of the data. (See Comments.)
This is not the dynamic data for the variable fields;
this data represents all information required for the
boilerplate form.
Terminates the complete Dynamic Form command
sequence. Enter the SFCC for your VGL
configuration immediately followed by ] or } to
terminate the Dynamic Form processing. The
dynamic data for the variable fields can be sent
following termination of the completed Dynamic
Form command.
