If I understand correctly, a scanned string would be posted into notepad as an string. Is this string ASCII? Or this the string posted based on a setting in the scanner?

Basically the scanner converts it to a simple string. Scan it with any 2D scanner you currently own. Be it a smart phone or a 2D scanner attached to your computer running notepad or something. See what it puts there.
That's what it will put into a field on your 5250 screen. Then it's up to you to go from there.

Then again, maybe I'm oversimplifying this with my 1D experience...
