^FN — Field Number for Stored Formats

Goal

Number fields for stored formats with ^FN.

Description

^FN numbers a field inside a stored format, so later ^XF recalls can fill it with fresh ^FD data. The same number can feed several fields at once.

Example

^XA
^XFR:DEMO.ZPL
^FN1^FDField one data^FS
^XZ

Result

The preview is near-empty: DEMO.ZPL is not stored in the preview service — on a printer this data lands in field 1.
