When creating MPCLII packets:
N
Begin each packet with a
start of header
(
{
).
N
End each packet with an
end of header
(
}
).
N
Define no more than
1000
fields in a format. Each
p
indicates
one field. However, options are not counted as fields.
N
The field number (
0
-
999
) must be unique. Monarch
recommends starting at 1, instead of 0.
N
Do not use a field number more than once per format.
N
Define all fields in the order you want to image/print them.
N
Separate all parameters with a
Parameter Separator
(
,
).
N
End each field with a
Field Separator
(
p
).
N
Enter all information in CAPITAL letters, except words or
phrases within quotation marks.
N
Include all parameters for a field unless documented as
optional.
N
Define non-printable text fields before the field to which they
apply.
N
Define options immediately after the field to which they apply.
N
Multiple options can be used with most fields. Options can be
used in any combination except as noted with each definition.
N
Keep in mind that proportionally spaced fonts need wider
fields than monospaced fonts. For variable field data, use a
letter "W" to determine the maximum field size.
N
Do not place a new line (return) or any other non-printing
character in a character string. However, a carriage return or
line break after each
p
makes your formats easier to read.
T,1,20,V,30,30,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0,0

T,2,10,V,50,30,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0,0

Spaces are ignored, except within character strings.
