Calling all GDDM experts -- MIDRANGE-L

Hopefully someone out there can tell me if it's at all possible to produce a
barcode with GDDM.  We have a program that produces gift certificates, and a
request has come in to place a barcode on these.  Rather than trash this
program and write it with IPDS commands, I'd prefer to modify it.  I'm not
too optimistic, since the GDDM programming guide and reference manuals do
not make any mention of barcodes.  Any ideas, or am I SOL?  

TIA

        Interesting; I JUST looked at my letter for that cum, NO mention of
it on my
        letter,
        but looked on the system and IT IS applied.... so far.. "ok"

        but here is the symptom string

        OSP LODPTF MSGCPF3908 AFTER UPGRADING FROM V4R1M0 TO V4R4M0

        We went from V4R2M0 to V4R4M0 -

        also be advised when upgrading to V4R4; not only get C9229440, but
order
        up the group PTF of SF99104 (a rather large ptf too of 170 fixes)

        It has many "fixes" for SQL, query/400 and general database access
fixes

        Also there are patches on IBM's site for the PC for client access,
above and
        beyond what goes on the AS/400

        Isn't it comforting to see that IBM ships out different
documentation.

        All,

         Just read through the PTF Shipping information letter for C9229440
        (V4R4) and noticed a potential GOTCHA.  There is a PTF that MUST be
        omitted by ALL V4R4 users on that CUM.  Going through the
instructions
        they are almost completely normal until the very top of page 10
where
        strict instructions read:

          "1) All customers must omit PTF 5769SS1-SF00014.  Failure to omit
        this PTF will result in unpredictable system failure."

         Hmmmmmmmmmm.

         you have been warned

         - Larry
