Formatting data populated with an @code
You can format data in your letters/notices with @codes.
To do this... |

Change fixed-length codes to actual-length codes |
An A after the code. For example, to print the second account name (last name, first name) you would ordinarily use special code @S10, which has a fixed length of 33. To use the exact number of spaces in each name, use @S10A. This removes blank spaces from the left end of a right-justified field and from the right end of a left-justified field. A fixed length can become an actual length; however, actual length codes cannot be changed. Put one space between the A and the next letter/notice in the text. |
Insert punctuation |
A caret (^) immediately after the A and right before the character following the code. For example, type @S10A^,. Dollar amount fields are right-justified, so this option removes the spaces between the dollar sign and the numbers. This cannot be used in conjunction with date masking or legal library access fields such as @F496. |
Print address blocks without account numbers |
An N and a tilde (~) after the code. For example, type @S08N~. You can only do this with the following codes:
|
Create the date format |
Date @code, first character, and second character. For the first character, do one of the following:
|
Change numbers into words |
Type one of the following:
Remember, the word "dollars" is only printed in W2. If you use W1, W3, or W4, spell out the word. |
Add the check amount at the end of the line and populate remaining spaces with asterisks |
Type C and the number of spaces available on the line (10-99) after the @code. For example, type @S80W1C20. Using W1 and a length of 20, 2.06 would print as follows: ***** TWO AND 06/100. |
