I keep seeing the following error in our log.filter file.

Log_mesg: Barcode script '..../lib/barcode/hplj4/type10' not found or executable

When I contact the users, they are not aware of any problems or errors. The directory obviously contains barcoding fonts support and all that's in there is a type01.

My question is, what is generating this error message and how (and where) do I change a type10 to a type01?

Hi Francesco,

barcode printing is actually done in Baan in a very primitive way:

If a report specifies to print a barcode, then it specifies also the barcode type, which is just a number. When printing, the filfter6.1 looks in the printer driver to find the barcode directory and in this directory looks for a script called "type" + NUMBER.

If the script is not there or not executable, then the filter6.1 will write your log message and will just skip the barcode.
If the script is there, then filter6.1 will execute it, whith the barcode as a parameter.

So obviously in your case, the challenge is to find the report, which tries to print barcode "10". Maybe this is just a mistake and it should be barcode type "01"?

If you just want top get rid of the log message, then just copy type01 to type10 or create an empty script.

Regards

Markus

Thanks Markus.

I already had copied type01 to type10 but that didn't work.

Is it executable for group bsp?

It was not, but then neither was script01 (fixed that).

In the mean time I managed to trace the report, by comparing the log.filter6.2 to the device queue.

The report (customized, developer unknown) uses barcodes in the footer.
All I can tell from the script and lay-out is that it uses a domain called barcode.20 (also custom). Nowhere is a mention of type01 or type10.

Since these scripts are in a printer 'specific' directory (.../hplj4/), shouldn't I be searching in that direction and maybe change something in the bwprint set-up?

For the offending field, take a look at the 'Font/ Barcode' attributes in the Maintain Report Fields. Is the Barcode field filled in with a 10?

Thereafter, the corrective actions depend on what is the requirement. You can change it to 1 or 0 or simply delete the field.
