Applying Data Edits 10-1

APPLYING DATA EDITS

Data edits are available for both text and bar code fields (simple

and combo). You can define two edits per field. For example, use the strip

characters to remove the cents from a price field ($12.50 becomes $12) and

then pad data on the right with nines ($12.99).

You can use data edits on fields where fixed data is defined.

NOTE: Fixed data can be added before or after performing the data edit.

You will be prompted, “perform data edit before or after including

fixed data?” Unexpected results may occur if you perform the data

edit before including fixed data or vice versa.

You can select from the following data edits:

Make into price Reformats the data as a price by adding the currency

symbol (selected at the Configuration menu) and decimal

point (decimal point, comma, etc.).

NOTE: Use on text fields only.

data edit to add leading or trailing zeros in bar code or

price fields. For example, the operator enters 1 and the

price prints as .01.

or right side of the current field. The remaining
