Delimiters
The CODESOFT Sentinel Print Pack interface gives you a simple and
user-friendly way to define all the Delimiters needed to analyze print
documents, as well as the name of the CODESOFT control variables that
will make up your label (see Interface, Chapter 5).
Note
As soon as you assign a character (or string of characters) to a de-
limiter, it becomes a control character and can be used only as such.
However, you may include it in an assignment value, or even within
a variable name, if you take the trouble to duplicate it.
Example
If the delimiter for the start direct assignment line is «start,» and if a
value must be assigned to the «CSstart» variable defined in a
CODESOFT label, write:
start CSstartstart [assignment] [value] [end assignment]
Same Variables
Same Variables allows you to freeze the value of a variable until a new as-
signment changes it. Thus, if a variable’s value does not change over the
course of several label specifications, you do not need to re-assign it for the
following ones.
A setting option available from the interface of the Sentinel Print Pack
module specifies whether a variable should stay the same or be re-entered
each time a label is defined.
