We have a bar-code labeling challenge. We need to print hundreds of unique
serialized labels.
We have three characters available.
I am expecting to do something like
Master (pallet): H42 2xxxxx MMM H42 is our supplier ID.
Box # 1 H42 2xxxxx AA0 2xxxxx is the six-digit packslip
number.
Bag # 1 H42 2xxxxx AA1
H42 2xxxxx AA2
Box # 2 H42 2xxxxx AB0
Bag # 1 H42 2xxxxx AB1
H42 2xxxxx AB2
Z * Z = 26 * 26 = 676. Thus, we could have up to 676 boxes.
Thus on a single packing slip, we could have up to 676 boxes each having
nine bags.
It appears that UniBasic has no built-in functionality (operators) to handle
base 26, that is, A thru Z.
base 36, A thru Z, and one thru ten.
I expect that it could be done, brute force, using arrays and equates.
Using Wintegrate, we write a txt-file from UniVerse to Windows. BarTender
(Windows-based) prints labels from the txt file.
BarTender has some VB functionality that I expect we will be forced to use.
I am writing because I do not want to overlook other U2 voodoo which may be
available.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
