I'm programming in ZPL and I need to define a variable manually. A simple Hello World Example:
^XA
^FO,20,10^ADN,40,25^FDHello World^FS
^XZ
I want to be able to:
SET $HW$ = Hello World
^XA
^FO,20,10^ADN,40,25^FD$HW$^FS
^XZ
I read the Zebra documentation and it talks only about its use in ZebraDesigner Pro, but I must define it with code, not with graphical mode. And the variables like $CODEDATA$, SVERSION$ are not working automatically here. Then, how can I define a variable in ZPL?
Here is a way to do what you are looking for. Store a format with a variable. ^FN11 is the variable in the stored format. I'm storing the format on the internal flash (E:) I've named the stored format STORE.ZPL
^XA
^DFE:STORE.ZPL^FS
^FO,20,10^ADN,40,25^FH\^FN11^^FS
^XZ
I then recall the format and set the variable
^XA
^XFE:STORE.ZPL^FS
^FN11Hello World^FS
^XZ
