Loyd,

Is there a particular type of document that you are going to barcode?

The easiest way to create Barcodes is using the BARCODE DDS keyword using
an externally defined print file & an IPDS capable printer.  You can read
about it at:

in the DDS Reference Manual:

from the OS/400 Printer Device Programming manual:

Hope this helps!
