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 50 fields in a format. Each
p
indicates
one field. However, options are not counted as fields.
N
The field number ( 0 to 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
p
T,2,10,V,50,30,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0,0

N
Spaces are ignored, except within character strings.
