Re: Barcode 3of9 question

[dkimmel@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Why are you expecting only 15 characters to print from a 16 character 
field? What happens if you MOVEL the 16 character masking field to a 15 
character field and print that as barcode?

------------------------------

I have printer file and RPGLE program that prints four 3of9 bar codes.

 

Each field is defined as alpha and the DDS keyword looks like this:

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 3 *HRITOP  X'02') 

 

All look OK except the one that is a generated number with a check digit
that is moved to a sixteen-character field for the masking. Value
4851-36500004-5, where the last 5 is the check digit, prints as
4851-36500004-5Y

 

This is AFPDS not IPDS.

 

Do you have any idea what I have done wrong?

 

Thank you,
