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 will 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 .
When copying from more than one field, copy
into the destination field from left to right.
