4.9 Creating a Sequential Number
Field
A sequential number field is useful for incrementing (and decrementing)
numbers such as batch numbers and item counts.
You specify a range of numbers, or letters, or a combination of both.
Printing is controlled by the Print Trigger option setting in the SETUP
menu.
Before You Start
You may wish to precede the sequential number field with text, for
example, ‘BATCH’. If this is the case, you can refer to the worked example
‘To Insert a Batch Number’ on page 87 for details.
To create a sequential number field:
1. In the Message Display Area of the EDIT MESSAGE screen,
position the cursor at the required start position of the field.
2. Press the [F3] function key. The SELECT FIELD TYPE menu is
displayed:
Figure 4-26 Select Field Type Menu: Sequential No. Option
3. Scroll to the Sequential No. option (as shown in Figure 4-26 above),
then press the [enter] key.
The SEQUENTIAL NUMBER menu is displayed:
