Sic Marking ec7 - Using Variable Fields; Time Variables and Special Characters

Using the variable fields
When one part of the text to be marked regularly needs modifications, such as increments
using a counter or date stamping, it is advisable to use the variable functions rather than
completely re-enter the data every time (and thereby increase the possibility of errors at each
change)
There are two function types; time variables and increments.
The increments are attached to a single file
The time variables are common to all files.
