Insert Characters

Use this command to replace temporary place-keeping symbols in an A type field with other A type fields. The general use of this command will be in inserting names, addresses, amounts, etc. into stock paragraphs, letters, etc. that can then be printed with this personal information in it.

INSERT f/c/e1, f/c/e2,..., f/c/ex Required - The fields/expressions that will be used when replacing the place-keeper values. The first field will replace place-keeper 1, the second field place-keeper 2, etc. Each INSERT value must be of A type. The place-keeper value is '\*'+number, i.e., \*1 or \*2, etc. Each INSERT field may be used multiple times within the into_field.

INTO fn/v

Required - The name of the field that contains the place-keeping values that need to be replaced. Must be an A type field.

COMMENTS

The process is to remove the place-keeping characters and then insert the appropriate INSERT field. If the total size of the 'new' value is beyond the size of the field the overflow characters at the end will be deleted.

EXAMPLE

Assume that the value of field X is:

Now is the \*3 for all good \*2 \*1 come to the aid of their party. Now is the \*3 for all good \*2 \*1 come to the aid of their party. Now is the \*3 for all good \*2 \*1 come to the aid of their party.

After the execution of the command:

INSERT 'to','men','time' INTO X

The value of field X will now be:

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.
