My exprience with scanning guns is that even though the user can only see a small part of the screen (typically around 16 columns) the rest of the screen is still there.  Sometimes the scanner can scroll right/left to see the rest of it.

So you could just define a 20 character field and have only 6 characters visible (Without scrolling) on the scanner screen. I did this quite often back-in-the-day.

I have a situation where I'm simply out of real estate.
Scanning application on very small screens where I need to display a portion of a 20-digit barcode.

I was wonder if there is a way to "overlay" a hidden field.
I could store the entire value in a hidden field, but only display the last 6 characters.

Is there a way to do that? Or is it simpler to keep track of it in the backend program?

TIA
