31MatchFormat:MATCH, P0 ,"C0" ,P1, "C1" ,...,Pn, "Cn" ,A pair of Pn and Cn forms a Match field (n indicates a sequential integer number). To define aMatch field, two parameters are required. The first is character position (Pn) and the second isa string (Cn). Character position means the number of characters, counting from the firstcharacter to the one to be positioned in the data record.For example, in the following dataBARCODE'B' has position 1.'A' has position 2....'E' has position 7.When Match field is defined, the original data string starts at the position specified by the firstparameter P and will be compared with string "C". If the match is identical, processing ofcurrent Formula continues.The position parameter P could be a wild character * for any position or # for the last positionin the original data. If # is used,#-Nis valid. Here N is a digit parameter.The string parameter C can include * for any digit or # for any letter.Examples:MATCH,3,"AB",#,"?",Checks if the original data has 'A' at position 3, 'B' at position '4' and last character is '?'.MATCH , 10 , " *A*",Checks if the original data includes a string with a digit as first character and "A*" followed atposition 10.ModifierModifier has two types of fields: A-String and O-String to define the output contents.A-StringFormat:"abc..."'a', 'b' and 'c' in the string can be any character.A-String defines a string of characters to be added to the output. For example, if the originaldata is:BCDand output string isBarCoDe"ar", 'o' and 'e' in output string are added strings and can be defined by A-Strings.Note: If '*' on Programming Sheet are included in A-String, one interblock delay defined byGroup 2 will be inserted.
