Option 4 (Copy Data) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
You can create a field that uses data from another field. This
is useful for creating merged fields or sub-fields. You can
copy the information from multiple fields into one field by
applying the copy procedure more than once. Copy data is
the only option you can apply to a field more than once.
The maximum number of characters defined in box
T3
or
B3
must allow for the number of characters you place in the field,
including any price, check digit, or fixed characters inserted by
the printer. The maximum number of characters in the field
into which data is copied cannot exceed
2710 or the maximum
number of characters permitted by the bar code .
n
When copying from more than one field, copy into the
destination field from left to right.
