✦

The field number (0 to 99) must be unique. Monarch
recommends starting at 1, instead of 0.

✦

Do not use a field number more than once per format.

✦

Define all fields in the order you want to image/print
them.

✦

Separate all parameters with a parameter separator
(,).

✦

End each field with a field separator (

p ).

✦

Enter all information in CAPITAL letters, except words
or phrases within quotation marks.

✦

Include all parameters for a field unless documented as
optional.

✦

Define non-printable text fields before the field to which
they apply.

✦

Define options immediately after the field to which they
apply.

✦

Multiple options can be used with most fields. Options
can be used in any combination except as noted with
each definition.

✦

Keep in mind that proportionally spaced fonts need
wider fields than monospaced fonts. For variable field
data, use a letter "W" to determine the maximum field
size.

✦

Do not place a new line (return) or any other
non-printing character in a character string. However,
a carriage return or line break after each

p makes your

formats easier to read.
