Re: variable length variable for BARCODE DDS keyword?

Do/could your bar codes have right-side guard bars?

If so can you scan for the right-side guard bars?

We barcode a part # with the BARCODE DDS keyword. Currently, to allow for
a 35 character field, and to make the barcode variable in size, I need to
code 35 record formats, one for each possible length. So, for example, I
create a RBAR1, RBAR2, RBAR3, ..., and RBAR35.

Is there a better way to handle this? Here is an example DDS section:

A R R1BAR13 TEXT('RECORD - BAR')
A RBAR13 13A O POSITION(&DWN &ACC)
A BARCODE(CODE128 1 *HRZ *NOHRI +
A *NOAST (*WIDTH .007))
DWN 5S 3P
ACC 5S 3P
