Re: BPCS405cd-CIMPATH/Barcoding

I have a client that installed RT/CIM a few years ago. On the Iseries it
consists of a set of FACXXX programs that contain the barcode commands(for
instance, there is a FAC520 to replace the SFC520 Shop Packet Print). This
is prob a newer version than you have.

We buy standard HP compatible laser printers that are capable of printing
barcodes to use for things such as shop packets. RT/CIM will also integrate
with label printing software(such as TL Ashford). We use this to generate
things like location labels with barcodes. We also use label printers to
generate part labels when we received inventory.

We have handhelp scanners to do transacting. These communicate with a
"router" which is essentially a PC running some data handling jobs. It
transfers data down from the Iseries and uploads transaction to the iseries
from the handhelds.

As I remember the use of barcode in dds would be a method during the CimPath
era and I am sure with an ipds printer of some sort it would work fine. Be
wary that dds barcode keywords will be finicy with OS/400 spooling rough a
network to a "printer with a mind of its own" ....ho! ho!

Look at SFC2XX shop floor. I believe that there was a "PRINT SHOP PACKET
WITH BAR CODES option there. You can look at it to see how they were doing
it.

We show CIM module installed. Are there DDS printer files using BARCODE
keywords as part of the CIM installation? Trying to unravel "the
mystery".

[BPCS-L] BPCS405cd-CIMPATH/Barcoding




We are revisiting our CIMPATH installed product. I see that it writes
transactions to the NFB file. Then, it must require some PC based
system to receive a download of transactions from the NFB file, and then
print out the bar-coded transactions on a PC based printer.

That solution does not seem like a modern way to do this. Does anyone
have or know of a method to take the various NFB transactions (or
directly from BPCS programs - bypassing NFB) and get the same or similar
looking bar-coded documents on a RMTOUTQ printer?

TIA,
Don
