yes. It needs to be to the second. My final solution at present, is to use 01/01/2006 as my base for the date, use the date*86400+time encoding, with my other manipulations, this will give me a span of about 12 years, and if this system is still in place in 12 years without being upgraded...well.
My other option, is to shrink the barcode size to allow for more room, but right now, it's pretty small to begin with, and I'd rather not make it unscanable. For those asking, it's a code128 barcode subset C. The barcode doesn't need the checksum, but rather the other side does, which I have no control over, except for the definition of the number, but the checksum is still required.
