Two types of Repeat commands are allowed within a buffered form: the 
Buffered Form Copy command and the Buffered Form Repeat command. 
Both the Copy and Repeat commands serve to repeat a sequence of Create 
<data> a certain number of times. The difference between them is that the 
number of times a Copy command repeats data is determined in the Create 
command sequence, where as the number of times the Repeat command 
repeats data is determined in the Execute command sequence.

The Buffered Form Copy command is used to repeat a sequence of 
commands and data within a buffered form Create <data> sequence. The 
command for this is:

Command ^Cnn-<data>^Z^-

Arguments

^C

Copy Command

nn

The number of times the data is to be repeated 

 

(01 - 99).

<data>

The data to be repeated.

^Z^-

End-of-Copy Terminator

Enough data must be included in the Buffered Form Execute to satisfy the 
copy counts in the form. Data can be different for each copy. The following 
control codes take on special functions within a Buffered Form Copy/Repeat 
command:

^-

(Caret hyphen) Fills the rest of the current data field 
with spaces.

^*

(Caret asterisk) Causes all unfilled character 
positions in all data fields to be filled with blanks up 
to the ^Z (End-of-Copy/Repeat) command.

^,

(Caret comma) Causes all unfilled character 
positions in all data fields to be filled with blanks up 
to the ^Z (End-of-Copy/Repeat) command, and all 
character positions in any remaining data fields will 
be filled with blanks until the copy count is satisfied.
