Page: 81 / 217

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.
Merging Fields
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.
Sub-Fields
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.
