Re: Mod 10 check digit calculation

Scott - thanks for the reply.
As it happens, I've just read the specs for "Calculating the MOD 10 Check
Digit for the Package Identification Code (PIC) using UCC/EAN Code 128",
and it looks like you are right, where you say "There are probably other
things that use the term "Mod10" as well, but
mean something different from what oyu're looking for."
This is definitely different from what I have been used to, so I will have
to code it myself, later on tonight.
Thanks anyway

I have a MOD10 routine for barcode check digits (for example, UPC/EAN
codes.)  I may also have one for credit card numbers somewhere, but it'd
be old and yucky and you probably wouldn't want it :)

It would help if you'd specify WHICH Mod10 you're looking for.  Barcodes
and Credit Card numbers both use a check digit called MOD10, but it's a
COMPLETELY different algorithm.

There are probably other things that use the term "Mod10" as well, but
mean something different from what oyu're looking for.

So please clarify what you're looking for... thanks
