How To Create Date and Time
Formats
Linx 5900 & 7900
3.4 Create a Macro element
The following example shows how you use a Macro element in a Date and Time format. In
this example, the Date and Time format has the following elements:
• d(Day of Week)
• A separator “-”
• A Macro element
The Macro element is the simple example shown on page 16. The Macro contains the
following lines:
length = 3
use “AAA”
If the day of the week is 7, the printed date is “7-AAA”.
To create this Macro element, perform the following steps.
1 Create a new, blank Date and Time format—select Menu > Stores > Date & Time
Store > New > Insert Element. (See steps 1 to 3 of the example on page 6.)

2 Insert the first two elements of the Date and Time format: “d(Day of Week)” and the
separator “-”. (See steps 4 to 6 on page 7 and page 8.)
