You probably didn't find many results about barcode readers because they're just another form of keyboard input.

I agree that viewing a 100+ input field isn't the best, but I personally wouldn't want to have a non-display field. You'd never know if it was mis-reading the barcode, or not reading at all.

I don't know of any way to input data using 5250 without having the field on the display.
