Alex, That's what it was! The "+" in the field name was what was returning the unexpected results. Looks like we're all good!
Thanks for your help!!!

I am using my ZIP+4 field as the field to generate the barcode from and I am trying to get the rule to compute the checksum digit only when I check the barcode the checksum digit is incorrect. My customer also provided me with a separate field for the checksum digit so I tried using this field as the second field to generate the barcode but when I save and preview the rule trying this option, the barcode is broken up into two separate barcodes on the same line and they are completely incorrect. I've never had a list supplied to me like this before. Usually we have the lists presorted in house, our mailing software creates the checksum digit, and all I do is use my "barcode" field (that we create) to create the barcode. This is a pre-sorted list provided by one of our customer's mail houses and it has a ton of data in it so I can't really mess around with the list. Has anyone else run into this?
