GS1-128 Barcode


Hi, I would like to ask how can I create a GS1-128 barcode using your Function in Crystal Reports 11.
I have tried to create a formula using IDAutomation_UCC128 (fieldname) or IDAutomation_Code128(fieldname) and drag the formula on the crystal report form and change the font name to IDAutomationSC128L. But when tried to scan it, it scanned correctly but the font is Code128. I want to have it GS1-128.

Noelrollo, the setup you have done so far is correct with a few exceptions. The GS1-128 standard requires an FNC1 character to be before any application identifies. To do this in crystal, the IDAutomation_Code128ApplyTilde function can be used and the "~202" string can be included in the data to encode the FNC1 character.
For example, IDAutomation_Code128ApplyTilde ("~202" & (table.field}) will encode the FNC1 in the first place in the barcode.

This method works with the Code 128 Fonts or the GS1-128 Fonts.

When generating GS1 symbols, IDAutomation recommends testing the result with the Barcode Decoder App which parses out GS1 data to verify proper encoding.
