Hi,
For Generating a barcode we have a function called bc$(type, rows, String), But the function is working fine only when we use it as bc$(9, 2, String). It was found using trial and error method, its not generating Bar Code for any other arguments.
Can any one help me to sort out this issue.
Regards
PSK

Hello,

have a look at your barcode directory if there other types of barcodescripts are present and in proper coding.

I have seen the directory mentioned by you and i find 5 files entirely in a subfolder called hplj4, i.e. README, type01, type02, type03 and type04. But my question is how is it considering the first argument when i give it 9(as there is no shell script provided for type09). Please clarify me.

Hello,

based on your printerdriver located in $BSE/lib/printinf/....
At used printerdriver, theres an entry like:

barcode_dir=hp

The barcodescript is used from directory:

$BSE/lib/barcode/hp/typexx

Regards

Actually my question is, why its only printing Bar Code correctly when i give the first argument as 9, i dont have a file named "type9" in the location provided earlier.

Am sorry Oledba, I did not mean that way, i was just trying to reframe my question properly, about what i was searching for. Please dont take me in other way.

Hi Shiva,
Hope by now the problem might have solved.
You need to check the BaaN Client Version also.

Also Please print any report in Preview mode and then take the Barcode under Help, and see all the types supported. Print and see whether the type you wanted is printing or not.
