There is another option I used in my previous company. We did not use
CIMPATH but used a call a program whenever the barcode printing was required say
from SFC520 etc. This customised program on the AS/400 written in RPG used to
write a spool file with Printer control ASCII characters along with the Item
Number,Lot number etc . From the AS/400/Iseries it used to be directly printed
on an IBM Zebra printer. I used it for EAN 128 and other vendor specific
BArcode formats. The only thing needs to be known is the Printer control
characters from the Printer manual.

I used TL Ashford bar coding and CimPath (unsupported by SSA) in a 6.02

implementation (I knew it from 3.01 and 4.05). I drove literally millions of
labels from the existing record formats to Printronix Theral printers. We also
had inventory transactions generating labels of various kinds, as large as 8
1/2" x 11" all requiring vendor approval or to vendors specifications.> >
