Resolved Questions

Hi I need to have 4 field values in my data matrix barcode. How do I join them together in one field in Crystal reports, to make the barcode readable ?

I have tried with one field - "10" + Jobcode and this works. If I then try "10" + JobCode + "400" + CustItemRef the barcode doesn't read. I can see '@' in the correct barcode, do I add these into the code to split the fields?
Any help is gratefully received.

Joining data to produce encoded data or a barcode is the same process for joining data for any Crystal Reports. Crystal uses either the + symbol or the & to combine fields.

Consider the following:
The barcode type (some barcode types can hold a limited amount of data).
The barcode size (verify the barcode is large enough to be accurately scanned).
The field size (verify the field is large enough to display the entire barcode).

This information is valid for Barcode Fonts with Font formulas for Crystal Reports as well as the Native Generator for Crystal Reports.
