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.

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
