| [ALIAS] TOKEN ALIAS |
| |
Creates an alias for a token. The alias can then be used instead of the token name. |
| [APPEND] |
| |
The label system will always append to the output file. |
[BARTENDER]
[BARTENDER] CLIPBOARD
[BARTENDER] DIALOG
[BARTENDER] STATUS
[BARTENDER] VISIBLE
[BARTENDER] <Export File> |
| |
ActiveX interface for Bartender Enterprise Edition. For more information see the Bartender Direct ActiveX Interface section here.
NOTE: It is no longer advised to use the Bartender ActiveX interfaces as problems with newer versions of SYSPRO have become known. It is recommended to switch to using the Bartender Commander Interface documented here.
|
| [CANCEL] |
| |
The label system will cancel printing and no label will be generated. |
[CHAIN] <name and optional full path to a new label file>
[CHAIN] ADVANCED <name and optional full path to a new label file> |
| |
Performs the creation of labels based on the current label control file, then "chains" to another label control file to enable printing multiple different labels based on need. Only use one of the two forms above. The "ADVANCED" option switches the shipping system label engine from the normal shipping one to the same one the handheld modules use which is based on the data tables instead of a fixed set of information.
For example, to create additional Hazmat labels for UPS, the following [CHAIN] command could be added to an existing label control file for UPS labels:
[IF] <DANGEROUS> = "Y"
[CHAIN] ADVANCED UPS-HAZMAT.LBL
[ENDIF]
In the above scenario, after the normal UPS label is created, if there are dangerous items in the package, the [CHAIN] command will "chain" to the UPS-HAZMAT.LBL file to generate hazzardous labels. The "ADVANCED" option uses the handheld label engine (versus the shipping label engine) to process the UPS-HAZMAT.LBL file contents.
Note the "ADVANCED" option would not be needed for any regular handheld labels, such as job receipts, since these only use the advanced engine. Also, the [CHAIN] command has not been added to any labels called from the handhelds at this time.
|
[COMMAND] <Workstation Command to Execute>
[COMMAND] SERVER <Server Command to Execute> |
| |
The label system will execute the requested command after the label printing is complete. Only use one of the two forms above. Note: See Command Token replacement below |
| [CODING] |
| |
Old method of indicating the parameter replacement information. This method is obsolete. |
| [COPYFILE] <Workstation File Name> |
| |
The label system will copy the output file to the workstation file name specified after all data has been written. |
| [COUNT] <Label Count> |
| |
Sets label copy count. Tokens can be used for the count. |
| [DELIMITERS] <Start><Stop> |
| |
Changes the default "<" and ">" delimiters for tokens. |
| [ELSE] |
| |
If the "IF" test failed lines under this statement will be processed otherwise they will be ignored. |
| [ELTRON] |
| |
The label system will mark any " (double-quote) characters in any text information with a \ to allow for proper printing on Eltron printers. |
| [END] |
| |
Last line of the label information. Everything after this line is ignores. Usually used to prevent blank lines is CSV style output files. |
| [ENDIF] |
| |
Terminates the previous [IF] test. All lines will be processed. |
| [FILE] <Server File Name> |
| |
Indicates a file on the server to create instead of printing directly to a printer.
Note: See Command Token replacement below |
| [HEADER] <number of header lines> |
| |
Indicates the number of header lines in the label format. Used to tell the system to skip the beginning lines when appending to a CSV style output file. |
| [IF] <test item 1> <comparison> <test item 2> |
| |
The information in <test item 1> is compared as instructed by the <comparison> operator to <test item 2>. If the statement is true, the lines in the label control file up to an [ELSE] or [ENDIF] will be processed, otherwise they will be skipped. The use of [ELSE] is not required. [IF] commands can not be inside other [IF]commands.
<test item 1> and <test item 2> can be a quoted string (i.e. "ABC") or one of the format codes above (i.e. <STATION>). The comparison operators are as follows:
| = |
Items are equal |
| != |
Items are not equal |
| > |
Item 1 is greater than Item 2 |
| < |
Item 1 is less than Item 2 |
| >= |
Item 1 is greater than or equal to Item 2 |
| <= |
Item 1 is less than or equal to Item 2 |
| BLANK |
Item 1 is blank (spaces) |
| NOTBLANK |
Item 1 is not blank |
| EXISTS |
Same as NOTBLANK |
Example:
[IF] <STATION> = "A"
; Whatever needs to happen if the Station code is "A"
[ELSE]
; Whatever needs to happen if the Station code is not "A"
[ENDIF]
|
| [IFFIRST] |
| |
True if processing the first label in a batch set |
| [IFLEN] <test item 1> <comparison> <test item 2> |

| [IFNOTFIRST] |
| |
True if not processing the first label in a batch set |

| [MARK] <quote character> |
| |
Sets the system to mark all quotes with a character specified. |
| [MIXED] <mixed phrase> |

| [MONARCH] |
| |
Sets the system to mark all quotes with a "~" character for use with Monarch printers. |
| [MSGBOX] <message string> |
| |
Displays the message string on the screen and waits for a "OK" click from the user. Generally only used for debugging.
<message string> is any Alphanumeric string and can contain any of the available tokens. |
| [MULT] <multiplier> |
| |
Sets a multiplier factor. Any numeric value within <> symbols will be multiplied by this factor. Handy for when moving between printers with different print head densities. |
| [NUMBER] <Default length for numeric values> or FLOAT |
| |
Sets the default length of numeric values. Numbers shorter than this number of digits will be space filled on the left. Longer values will be trimmed from the left. Using the "FLOAT" option will output the number without fills or trims.
The default length of a numeric value is 4 for shipping labels. For generic labels "FLOAT" is the default.
|
| [QUEUE] <Print Queue> |
| |
Sends the output file directly into the specific print queue. Do not use quotation marks. The command [QUEUE] ACTIVEX must also be included on a separate line. Requires the Cadacus Support System to be installed. |

Executes the SQL command indicated by <command>. SQLError token will be set to any error message. Requires label system after 2021-08-27. |
| [STOP] |
| |
Similar to [END], the difference is in how the command is handled in an included file. The [STOP] command will stop all reading of control files and not return to the previous label control file. |
| [SWITCH] <file> |
| |
Stops reading the current label control file and switches to reading the file specified. The current file is not returned to after reading the new file.
Note: See Command Token replacement below |
| [UPPERCASE] |

ALPHA, if present, forces labeling system to treat the information as alphanumeric
Once established, variables may be used within <> as a token
Note: when doing math functions the “=” is required and a spaces are required between the variable name and the actual math statement. Also spaces are required before and after the math operator.
Examples:
| [VAR] Test = <X> / <Y> |
Spaces are required before / after variable name, math statements, and math operator |
