Using Python scripts

You can use a Python script to format or modify field values

• Open the fields "Data" tab
• Set "Dynamic Data" to "Yes"
• Set "Script" to "Yes"
• Use a piece of Python code to format your data
  • The field value is in val
  • You can modify it
  • Retrieve other fields in the current data record via parms.jobGet(xpath)
  • You can set fields (in the current data record) via parms.store(xpath, value)
• The script is run whenever the field is printed.

Sample:

if not parms.jobGet("$test"):
  parms.store("$test", 1)
val=val+parms.jobGet("$labelNo")+parms.jobGet("$test")
parms.store("$test", parms.jobGet("$test")+1)
