Re: Barcode that is alpha

One issue is the Printronix = as a dot matrix ABSOLUTE MOVEMENT printer, I am
being told by IBM SOftware support.



Perhaps someone here has used the Printronix successfully?

Guessing that 'looking at' here means WRKSPLF, that's right. You
probably see a message at the bottom of the display saying 'Bar codes
not displayed.' Just print it out and see how it looks with your
printer. Here is a simple sample:

A R PRTHED
*
A 1'Bar code test 14'
A SKIPB(3)
A SPACEA(1)
A R PRTDTA
A CODE 14 O 10BARCODE(CODE3OF9 *NOHRI)
A SPACEA(3)

Compile with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS)

fbarcode o e printer oflind(*in01)
c write prthed
c eval code = 'TEST123'
c write prtdta
c eval *inlr = *on
