Creating SATO BarCode labels in RPG

Hi,



I am trying to generate a 4 X 6 label in RPG to a SATO M8485Se printer. I
have downloaded the manual and understand how to code the label. I know it
is possible via RPG as I have read on the Web that people have done it but I
have not found any sample RPG code. The SATO uses Escape Codes to generate
the printout on the label. The best I could figure out on how to generate
ESC is via DDS with the TRNSPY in the Printer File.



A DFT(X'1B') TRNSPY



Is there a way to generate the ESC in the RPG program? I am generating good
output right now via the above method but it makes for many lines in the
Printer File. There must be a simpler way. Does anybody have any
suggestions or sample code?
