I was just curious when I look at the output it doesn't look like a bar code at all.
Before I tell the operators to be on the lookout for this, is this correct? that is it
will print a barcode on the printer but if you look at the spool on WRKSPLF it shows
as a non barcode text field?

There are many different bar codes, some allow alphabetic characters and
some do not. I probably don't need to remind you to look at the DDS
reference for BARCODE, but you may not know about the Printing Redbooks,
which have a lot of good information on advanced printing topics.

Printing Redbook VI http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246250.html

My advice is to write a very simple bit of DDS and a test HLL program
that sends sample data to your printer. That way you can get used to
how the DDS and printer behave.
