There's an issue with copying rules into the Web interface for this forum. You may have more luck copying-and-pasting your rule syntax into an email message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I apologize for the trouble.
I think that part of the "wonder and mystery" we're dealing with here is that there are different "flavors" of the 128 barcode: http://www.idautomation.com/code128faq.html#Specifications Whenever a sentence starts out with the words, "Several standards exist," it probably means a few late nights for me or someone else here. In addition to all of these flavors, the USPS has created its own special variation of the EAN-128 (a.k.a UCC-128, a.k.a. GS1-128) sub-standard: http://www.idautomation.com/code128faq.html#USPS_EAN128 What this is leading up to, as you may have guessed, is that the "flavor" of EAN-128 barcode generated by FusionPro's MakeEAN128Barcode function is not the same as the USPS's special EAN-128 variation. Unfortunately, we don't currently have a function which implements the USPS's specialization of the EAN 128 standard. If this is something that's going to be useful to a lot of customers, we will definitely consider adding it to a future release. However, it's my understanding that this is all superseded by the "Intelligent Mail" (a.k.a. "One Code," a.k.a. "Four State") barcode standard. (The USPS has also been known to change its specifications from time to time. Not as often as, say, our friends at Apple, but they do like to keep us on our toes.) That said, I don't think the algorithm is terribly complicated. You can look at the current implementation of our MakeEAN128Barcode function in the Builtins.js file which ships with FusionPro to see how it works. Please do not edit this file! However, you can copy-and-paste the logic into a rule in your job, or your JavaScript Globals (or even a .js script file in the Plug-ins folder) and modify the logic to do whatever you need. Again, please do not modify Builtins.js; copy the code and modify it somewhere else. Dan +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- FusionPro 5.0 Now Available!
