Scan item in barcode format

Goal: Trying to generate the item number in barcode format in the report.

There is an object called object.DerJobsuffixBar which successfully can be converted to barcode using code 39 font, also there is another object called object.DerJobsuffix which can't be converted for barcode.

I would like to know how to create the same for item number and what is the mechanism and how to create a property than can successfully be read in bar code format.

Thank you!

You can create a derived field on your report IDO, something like '*' + ItemNum which would add the * to the field for you. Or you can use an expression on your report form to add that * manually but not sure if you can bind that to a barcode field.

We do everything as a QR code. Easy, always works and all modern scanners support QR. Its made our lives so much easier than using code39.

Here is what i did to fix this in case somebody encounters the same question:

item = ThisForm.PrimaryIDOCollection.Items(row).Item("Item1").GetValueOfString("")

ThisForm.PrimaryIDOCollection.SetObjectPropertyPlusModifyRefresh("ue_hm_ItemExp", row, "*" & UCase(Trim(item)) & "*")

In CSI 10, you should already have access to Bar Code elements. You'd just need to tie those to the CSI data you want embedded into the bar code. As you noted, some data cannot be put into specific code types.

I would definitely testing readers. That's where we had most of our headaches. Finding the ride "bar code size"/"reader distance" took some trial and error. Additionally, we had to set the ending character in the scanner guns to be a TAB key. This puts the data into the field & moves the focus to the next component.

Here is my problem, trying to customize the "JobOperationListingReportViewer" report, in addition to job which is in barcode format need to add item in the same format, i have checked other reports such as "BarcodedItemLabelsReportViewer" which has items in barcode format to understand the mechanism as how they are converted (since using code 39 format you need to add "*" to the beginning and end of the text to be readable by the scanner) so far i have not fully understand how i can convert the item into bar code format.

Thank you!
