Re: Technical Question

Every RF screen we’ve used doesn’t care if a field is too large for the
screen, it usually won’t show it but you can scan the data and it will type
it correctly.

Your users aren’t watching the screen so it won’t matter if it types off
the screen.

Good luck

Thanks for the reply.

I agree but this is the RF screen so we can not keep more length.

We always make the field where the scanner is typing larger than our
longest expected scan. Then we can process it accordingly. The scanners

are

configured to press enter after each scan.

Hello All,

I have a program that accepts a 16 digit scan. But I have barcodes

that

are greater than 16 digits being scanned. Do you know of a way to

ignore

the trailing characters after the 16 digits?. I am finding that the
program has no control over the trailing characters and the screen

stays

in

a lock state until it is cleared. (like there is an error). I am
wondering how a 16 byte field can carry more than its actual length.

Any

help and suggestions would be appreciated - thanks in advance.
