RE: Barcode 3of9 question

Another question - can I mask the bar-code with an edit word if I use a
numeric value?  It is 13 digits.

You have Bar Code Modifier specified as X'02" which means
you want the Check Digit to be calculated
The Y is the Check Digit

If you are calculating the Check Digit and it is 5 Then you
want the modified value to be Hex'01'

I have printer file and RPGLE program that prints four 3of9
bar codes.

 

Each field is defined as alpha and the DDS keyword looks
like this:

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 3 *HRITOP  X'02')                    

 

All look OK except the one that is a generated number with a
check digit
that is moved to a sixteen-character field for the masking.
Value
4851-36500004-5, where the last 5 is the check digit, prints
as
4851-36500004-5Y

 

This is AFPDS not IPDS.

 

Do you have any idea what I have done wrong?

 

Thank you,
