t_
The Time Stamp statement uses the same program fields as the Date and
Time Stamp statement.
Date Stamp
The Date Stamp statement stores only the date information in a MMDDYY
format. As in the other Date/Time stamp statements, using DIS in the
DATA ID field will display the Date information on the TriCoder when the
statement is executed. The date format can be changed using the
Alternative Date Format settings in the TriCoder setup.
ENTRY TYPE 01
Y_
The Date Stamp statement uses the same program fields as the other Date
and Time Stamp statements.
Xtra
The Xtra Statement works with the "
ENTER QUANTITY
" prompt by
automatically entering a quantity of “1” if the user enters another Item
number instead of a quantity. The user has the option of entering an actual
quantity if it is more than “1”. Using this feature in Program #1 is a good
way to demonstrate its value. The XTRA Statement must be set before
you begin your data collection. To use the XTRA Statement, three things
must happen:
1. The
statement type for the “
ENTER QUANTITY
” prompt must be
“X” (Xtra)
2. The
maximum data length of the “
ENTER QUANTITY
”
statement must be less than the minimum data length for the next
statement to be executed - in program #1, the next statement to be
executed is the “
ENTER ITEM NO
.” statement.
3. The length of the data entered at the “
ENTER QUANTITY
”
prompt must be between the minimum data length and the
maximum data length of the next statement to be executed (
ITEM
in program #1).
Using Program #1 as an example:
If the number of characters entered at the “
ENTER QUANTITY
” prompt is
less than the minimum data length of the “
ENTER ITEM NO.
” prompt,
then the data entered is stored as the quantity.
If the number of characters entered at the “
ENTER QUANTITY
” prompt is
between the maximum data length and the minimum data length for the
