try this
A @PRICE 10 POSITION(6.05 2.65)
A BARCODE(CODE128 6 *NOHRI)

c eval @price = %editc(dolamt:'X')

(i've not tested what "X" does with negative values) Jim

Thanks, Jim. Do you have an example of the code - DDS/RPG?

Put the numeric into an alpha numeric field.
If you have to have the decimal, then use an %editc or %editw.
Barcode data is alphanumeric.
