You don't mention the display file. Are you compiling both the new and
the original program against the same display file? The space on the
display file has to be long enough for the data characters, the control
characters and the check digits, if any. Code 3 of 9, for instance,
starts and stops with asterisks. Your input field needs to be long
enough to accept the asterisks as well as the data.

Subject: Handheld Barcode Input
Greetings from sunny Florida, where it's fair and 64f.
I am modifying an RPG application for a Naurtech handheld scanner using
Windows CE5250 emulation. When I attempt to scan a barcode tag, I get
an "Input Discarded, Too Long For Field" error. I can key my numbers
using the keyboard into the fields which are to be filled by the barcode
scan and the program functions as designed. I recompiled the original
program and I get the same error. When running the original application
in production, the scan function performs correctly. My next course of
action is to get someone of authority to copy the original objects to my
test library. As the user ID for the handheld is restricted, I am
putting my programs into the designated library and cannot directly call
the original program on the development system.
There are no notes or warnings in the code to instruct me to compile
anything non-normal. Is there something which needs to be changed on
the compile of the screen? Any other helpful hints?
Thanks,
Robert Munday
