For {39}, {49} variables, each database entry (1,2-n) must be
formatted as follows: Entry 1 - {39:1}, {49:1}, Entry 2 - {39:2},
{49:2}, etc.
37.2. Variable Formatting
You can format numeric variables, text variables and dates which are to be
printed or displayed in the grey workspace.
Formatting types:
• variables with left justification,
• variables with right justification,
• determining quantity of characters for printing / displaying,
• determining quantity of decimal places for numeric variables,
• converting the format of date and hour,
• converting numeric variables into EAN13 code,
• converting numeric variables and date into EAN128 code.
Special formatting characters:
Character Description Example
, A sign separating the variable
from the format item.
{7,10} - Net weight value of fixed length (10
characters), given in an adjustment unit, right
justification.
- Either a minus sign or left
justification.
{7,-10} - Net weight value of fixed length (10
characters), given in an adjustment unit, left
justification.
: Either a sign proceeding a
format item or a time separator
(inserted between an hour, a
minute and a second).
{7:F3} - Net weight value given in an adjustment
unit, always with three decimal places.
{3:HH:mm:ss 24H} – Current time in format:
hour-minute-second.
F Either a sign formatting digits to
a string of “-ddd.ddd…” format
(where: d - single digit, minus -
for negative values only) or
determination of decimal places
quantity.
{7:F2} - Net weight value given in an adjustment
unit, always with two decimal places.
{7,9:F2} - Net weight value of fixed length (9
characters), given in an adjustment unit, always
with two decimal places, right justification.
V Formatting mass and quantities
being derivatives of mass in
EAN13 code.
{7:V6.3} - Net mass in a form of EAN13 code (6-
character code) with three decimal places.
