Re: O SPec Bar code printing?

OK that doesn't sound worth it for us.

I take it there is no tool around that would take the O specs and convert
into An PRTF?

It is possible to do in plain RPG, but I would say that it took me
something on the order of 4 weeks to do my first one. Between learning
about the new printer data stream, to configuring the printer properly
(both at the printer and at the System i) to the nit-picking, heavily
detail oriented bit twiddling / testing cycle, it was a fair amount of
work. I would say I had several hundred edit/compile/test cycles before
I was done.
