I think it is very unlikely that the 6400 supports IMB with the BARCODE
parameter. You will probably have to use AFP raster fonts.
https://ribbs.usps.gov/onecodesolution/download.cfm and grab the
uspsFontSAFP-1-1-0.zip
The font approach is easy to use. You simply print a string of alpha
characters that make up the bar code. Encoding numeric postal codes can
be a challenge, but he USPS does provide sampel code to do so in C.

Hey Mark, what's undefined?
John, you haven't specified the barcode to print. You just named a
field.
Here is a site for the BARCODE keyword in DDS.

Your printer file should be something like this...
A BARCODEP 65 3 20BARCODE(CODE128 2)
CODE128 tells it what type of barcode to print. 2 is the height of the
barcode.
Unfortunately, I didn't do my barcode using a printer file. Instead I
used
a software package. So I'm not sure about making this a CODE128 subset
C
with FNC1 in a printer file. The subset C is what confuses me and I
would
like to know the answer to that too. But you can fake the FNC1 by
putting
it at the beginning of the variable BARCODEP. Like the previous post,
BARCODEP = X'8F' + %Trim(PostalRouting) + X'8F' + TrackingNumber;
You find this site helpful too.
