Take a look at this small program... 0001 FOR I = 0 TO 625 0002 A=INT(I/26) ; B=MOD(I,26) ; C=MOD(A,26) 0003 PRINT I,CHAR(65+C),CHAR(65+B) 0004 NEXT I
It will map the numbers from 0 to 625 into AA to ZZ. -- Rod Hills -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brutzman, Bill Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 11:54 AM To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' Subject: [U2] Base 16, 26, 36 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. --Bill ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
