I do not think this paragraph from the 7.3 Memo To Users affects the
BARCODE keyword:
IBM Advanced Function Printing Utilities (5770-AF1)
IBM Advanced Function Printing Utilities (5770-AF1) is no longer
supported.
The last release for IBM Advanced Function Printing Utilities (5770-AF1)
was IBM i 7.2. The Advance
Function Presentation data stream is now an open architecture managed by
the AFP Consortium.
Replacement products, which offer support for a wider range of image
formats and modern font
technologies, are available from several of the companies that are members
of the AFP Consortium.
Among the replacement products are DocPath Boulder Suite (from DocPath)
and Overview AFP Designer
for iSeries (from Isis-Papyrus). This is not a comprehensive list of
replacement products, as other
companies may also offer function which replaces Advanced Function
Printing Utilities.

Do you have a simple test? Like a printer file and a simplified RPG
program which prints your desired barcode?
I have numerous 7.3 lpars.
