John,
There are several options for sending the serial number from F2, depending
upon what you want for the output.
A plain '%' sign in the macro will send the exact serial number as indicated
by WL.
A '%n', where n is from 1 -5, will send the serial number with required
number of leading "T" characters in Morse or "0" digits in RTTY, to make it
a n digit number. Use this for contests where a three digit serial number
is required.
A '%N' followed b an optional digit n will send the serial number as a n
digit number, but will use cut numbers if you have a [Cut-Numbers] section
defined in your writelog.ini file. For example, 0=T will send the letter T
instead of a 0 for as many places as required to make a three digit number.
But, it will also send T anywhere if finds a 0 in the serial number. So the
number 1008 will be sent as 1TT8. I don't particularly like receiving that
so I never send it, but your opinion may differ.

Subject: [WriteLog] SETUP - CW/RTTY/SSB MESSAGE FORMAT
Hi Fellow Writelog Users.
I have a problem- after a number of years I reinstalled WL again on a new
Hard Drive and have run into a problem, or two.Have largely resolved the
more demanding (mentally ones !!) and am keen to clear the remaining one,
being inputting the correctly formatted data into the F2 MESSAGE box". I
have mislaid my original installation notes an would be obliged if some kind
person would advise the inputting data format for the following :-
- data relative to an RST, Ascending Serial Number situation, e.g. 599001,
599002, etc.
Thanks in advance to your assistance, which will be really appreciated.
