CipherLab BASIC Programming Part I
Configure
Transaction
Files
 Function
To define the transaction files (up to 6) to be used and the data
length for each transaction file. O
nce the data length is defined,
the system will reserve space for the program. If the space is
larger than needed, it would be a waste. On the other hand, when
space is insufficient, data will be truncated to fit in.
 For 8200/8400/8700, you may choose to c
reate transaction
file(s) on SD card.

“Share file space with other applications” is enabled by
default, which means the same transaction file will not be
deleted after new program is downloaded. If disabled, the user
can get larger file system size.
 Operation
Click “Configure” on the menu bar and select “Configure
Transaction Files”. In the pop-
up window, check the box to enable
the use of a transaction file, and type the data length for each
enabled transaction file.
Create DBF
Files
 Function
To defin
e the DBF files (up to 5) to be used and the IDX files for
each DBF file.
 For 8200/8400/8700
, you may choose to create DBF file(s) on
SD card.

“Share file space with other applications” is enabled by
default, which means the same DBF file will not be delet
ed
after new program is downloaded. If disabled, the user can get
larger file system size.
 Operation
Click “Configure” on the menu bar and select “Create DBF Files”
.
In the pop-
up window, type the total record length for each DBF
file and define the key offset and key length for the IDX files.
Please note that the specified Record Length here should
exactly
equal the maximum record length of the lookup file.
Barcode
Setting
 Function
To configure the system parameters for barcode symbologies and
scanner performance.
 Operation
Click “Configure” on the menu bar and select “Barcode Setting”
. In
the pop-up window, check the box to enable the decidability
of the
target mobile computer
for a particular barcode symbology. For
the description of each barcode setting, please refer to Appendix I
& II.
Note: When exiting the BASIC Compiler or opening another file, if the current file has not
been changed but the barcode settings have been changed, the user will be asked
whether to save the current file or not.
