This example explains how to create a Data Matrix barcode using the IDAutomation Font Formula and Barcode Fonts

NOTE: The font formula is only included in the licensed version of the product

1. Purchase the Data Matrix Font Package.

2.Download and Install the Data Matrix Font Package

3. Navigate to the Integration folder of the Data Matrix Font Package. Some versions include the Integration folder under another folder. Within the unzipped Font Package, run a search for .rpt to locate the example. (updated 2/3/2021).

4. Open the Crystal Reports Formulas.rpt or Crystal Reports GS1 Formula.rpt file.

5. The report includes the Native Font Formulas object on the left (and in some versions of the product, the UFL object
on the right).

EXAMPLES
=========================================================================
UID Marking Label Example:

NOTE: When generating UID symbols, IDAutomation recommends testing the result with the Barcode Decoder App because it reveals the RS, GS, and EOT functions to verify proper encoding.

[)><RS>05<GS>800406141419999960MH80312<GS>21MH80312<GS>950614141<GS>24099999<RS><EOT>

To encode the RS (Record Separator), use ~d030
To encode the GS (Group Separator), use ~d029
To encode the EOT (End of Transmission), use ~d004

Example with String
DataToEncode = "[)>~d03005~d029800406141419999960MH80312~d02921MH80312~d029950614141~d02924099999
~d030~d004"


Example with Data Fields
NOTE: The fields within the brackets are for example purposes only. Your fields may have different names.
This is only designed to show the user how to format between string literals and data fields within the DataToEncode variable.

DataToEncode = "[)>~d030" & {FormatField} & "~d029" & {UIIField} & "~d029" & {SerialNumberField} & "~d029" & {SPLRField} & "~d029" & {PartNumber} & "~d030~d004"
