Defining Batch Data Fields –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Batch data fields should be sent in field number order. Use
continuation fields for large amounts of data. If you are using
N (New) in the batch header, you must list all fields with your
data in sequence. If you are using U , you need to list only
those fields and data that changes from the last printed batch.
Syntax

field# Identifies the text, bar code, or non-printable text field in
which to insert the following data. Range:

Using Special Characters in Batch Data
There are two ways to specify special characters in batch data:
✦
Place a tilde (~) before the character
✦
Use a tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent
