12.2.4 Database Fields

Database fields are fields stored in the TransAct database. A database field
is placed on a ticket by enclosing the field name in brackets ([ ]).

Below is an example of how you can use static text and database fields
together on a ticket. The example will print the ticket number, weight in,
date in, weight out, date out, and net weight on the ticket.

"Ticket Number: " [Ticket Number]

"Gross: " [Weight In]" " [Date In]
"Tare: " [Weight Out]" "[Date Out]
"Net: "[Net Weight]

The tables on the following pages list the database field names you can use
in the ticket format file.
