Field options further define text, bar code, and non-printable text fields.

before
you can apply any field option to it. Define options immediately after the
field to which they apply.

You can use more than one option with most fields. For example, you can
use Option 4 to copy data from another field, and then use Option 30 to pad
the field. When you use multiple options for the same field, you must place
the options in the order you want to apply them to your format.
