A prompting Batch Control Number expression can be defined to prompt the operator for information when a batch is scanned or imported. A prompting expression is entered between angle brackets like a static literal, but a pair of square brackets is inserted right before the closing angle bracket. For example: <Enter your employee code []>.

When a prompting expression is used in the Batch Control Number along with the Auto Incrementing Sequence Number field, both prompts appear together during Scan/Import.

In addition, an edit mask can be included between the square brackets to restrict what the operator is allowed to enter.

        9 - Numeric character only

        X - Alphanumeric character

        V - Implied decimal point (inserts a decimal point)

        . - Fixed decimal point

    1. Any other character in the mask, such as a dash, denotes a fixed character and are not accepted.
