Copies data from field #3, starting at the first position and copying
three characters. In the destination field, the information is placed
in position 1 and copied as formatted data.

You can copy data to merge the contents of fields. Use the copy
data option as many times as necessary to copy all the
appropriate fields into the merged field.
In the following example, two text and two non-printable fields are
shown. Data from these fields is merged to form field 5, and is
then printed as a bar code.
Field Data Field Type
1 203 Non-printable
2 339 Non-printable
3 8 Text
4 BLUE Text
5 2033398BLUE Bar Code
To create this sequence:
1.
Define fields 1, 2, 3, and 4.
2.
Define field 5 as a bar code. Allow enough characters in the
bar code field to hold all the copied characters.
3.
Apply Option 4 to field 5 once for every source field.
S u b - F i e l d s
You can copy a segment of data from one field into a new location,
called a sub-field. For example, extract part of the data in a bar
code and display it in text form in a sub-field. Then, use the copy
data option.
