Using Special Characters in Batch Data
There are two ways to specify special characters in batch data:
¨ Place a tilde (~) before each character
¨ Use a tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent
For example, you can use “” or ~034 to print the “ character in your batch
data; otherwise, the tilde characters are ignored. You can also use ~XXX
where XXX is the decimal equivalent of an unprintable character.
Sample Batch Data with Special Characters
{B,1,N,1 p
Decimal Character What Prints
1,"123~034456789" p
~034 is “ 123"456789
2,"~094983~’126LG4451" p
~094 is ^
~126 is ~
^983~’LG4451
Merged or Sub-Fields
If a field is completely filled by data copied from other fields, use quotation
marks without spaces between them for the "data string" parameter.
