Example 1: Extracts data from the 10th character to the 19th character.
Total Number of Fields: 3
Field 1: Divide field by field length, set field length to 9
Field 2: Divide field by field length, set field length to 10
Field Transmission Sequence: F2
Example 2: Extract the date code, item number, and quantity information from
barcodes. Data is encoded in the barcode like this: From the first character to the
6th character is the date code. From the 7th character is the item number, its

quantity information.

and then the date code, and then another TAB character and finally the quantity.
