Match Start Position
Usage: Match Start Position is useful in defining specific portions of a symbol
for comparisons. For example, if a symbol contains a part number, manu-
facturing 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.
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 Matchcode
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 char-
acters to the right will be compared, up to the number of characters
specified by Match Length.

Default: 0
Options: 0 to 64
Note: Match Start Position must be set to 1 or greater to enable this feature. A 0
setting will disable this feature.
