^FE — Field Concatenation

Builds field data from other numbered fields: inserts a whole ^FN field or a substring of it into a ^FD.

What it does

^FE applies only to the ^FD that immediately follows it. Inside that data #n# inserts the whole content of field ^FNn, and #n,a,x,y# a part of it: a is f (count from the start) or b (count from the end), x the starting position (1 = first or last character; 0 or negative ignores the insert) and y the number of characters, capped at what is available.

The guide lists the ZD421C, ZD421D, ZD621D, ZD621T, ZT411, ZT421, ZT510, ZT610 and ZT620 as supported printers.

Example

^XA
^FO50,50^A0N,30,30^FN2^FDField FN 2 Data^FS
^FO50,100^A0N,30,30^FE#^FD#2,f,1,5# / #2,b,1,4#^FS
^XZ

The second field prints "Field / Data": five characters from the start of ^FN2 and four from its end.
