Frank,
I don't have a DLL, but I did purchase a set of Eflring Barcode Fonts that
someone on the list recommended. Then, by setting a variable in the Report,
or Label, creating a variable with Start and End characters, then just
placing the field on the report, and using the Barcode Font for Font, it
prints right up. No as ellegant as a DLL, but is pretty much bulletproof. A
code example from Code 39 which uses tarting and nding symbols of * and a
Data Identifier of 'P', the example would read:
set var vCodeNo integer = 123456
set var vBarCodeNo Text = ('*P' + (ctxt(.vCodeNo)) + '*')
Just place the Human Readable, and Bar Code fields on the report, and your
finished.
The Human Readable is 123456
The Bar Code decodes as *P1232456*
Data Identifiers are used so that the software reading multiple barcode can
differentiate between a Part Number (P) and a Supplier Code (V) and a Serial
Number (S). All of these are Data Identifiers from the AIAG Format for Auto,
Truck, and AG Equipment Companies.
Under RBase 7.0 you only need to add the Data Identifier to the text spring,
as the starting and ending codes are specified in the Bar Code font.
If you need the string for Code 128, I can probably find it, but I don't have
it immediately at hand.
I hope it helps, and doesn't muddy the waters.
