INITIAL VALUE OR TEXT
Select the check box. An initial value or text, up to 10 characters, specified here will be
shown in the input field. It is to be replaced by input data.
For example, it can be used to prompt an initial value for quantity.
ADD PREFIX CODE
Select the check box to prefix a code to the input data. Click the editing box next to it,
and select one or more codes from the Grid Control (ASCII codes). For example, a dollar
sign ("$") can be added to the front of the data input for price.
ADD SUFFIX CODE
Select the check box to suffix a code to the input data. Click the editing box next to it,
and select one or more codes from the Grid Control (ASCII codes).
Instead of using delimiters in
5.2 Data Field
Delimiter, you may use prefix and/or suffix
codes to separate each entry of input data.
Note: You may use prefix/suffix code to wrap the input data. The prefix/suffix code will
be added to the exported file only.
SHOW INPUT MARK
Select the check box to show input marks, such as underline (_) or asterisk (*), which is
to be replaced by input data.
The number of input marks shown on the screen equals to the maximum length of data
specified in
1.13 Maximum
Length.
DECIMAL PLACES
A decimal place is the position of a digit to the right of a decimal point. When the data
type is real, you may need to specify its decimal places.
By default, it is set variable to accept all real numbers.
For example, 4 is selected for decimal places, however, there are only 2 decimal places
in the input number, say "8.12". To follow this rule, the system will save the input data
as "8.1200". If you try to input a number "8.12345" via the keypad, it will not allow the
input of the fifth decimal digit. Only "8.1234" is acceptable and saved to file.
If the barcode "8.12345" is scanned via the barcode reader, a warning message
"Incorrect decimal input" will be displayed on the mobile computer, and the system will
automatically clear the input data and wait for new entry.
