Re: packing list

[LeLeux@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

We've played around adding the bar code function to DDS and compiling as 
*IPDS and it has worked well for us.  Although we now primarily use ZPL 
(Zebra language) and VB controls (Mabry.com) & AVR (ASNA.com) to achieve 
this goal.

Here's 3 things you may find helpful when working with MAPICS RPG code.

1. If you don't want to use the HRI function (Human Readable Text) along 
with the bar code, usually because it is too small, or you need better 
control of placement you'll need to have two fields for the same data, one 
to write in a 'normal' fashion, the other for bar coding (note the *NOHRI 
parameter), the DDS doesn't compile if a field is used more than once.

     This allows you to control the placement better by handling text & 
bar coding separately.

A            PARTNA    R        O 15 19 
A            PARTNB    R        O 16  2BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *NOHRI)

2. You may also want to play with bar code sizing, below a 3 is used 
instead of 2 just before the *NOHRI

A  84        PARTNB    R        O 20  2BARCODE(CODE3OF9 3 *NOHRI)

3. The above example also uses an indicator to control if it should print.

Good luck with your project!
