Resolved Questions

The barcodes are missing the Function 1 Character (FNC 1)

Hi

I am using Crystal Report 2008 Ver 12.1.0.892

I need to generate a bar code for (02)10000093539071(37)55(17)130910(10)100913072Z for a retailer EDI accreditation testing.
I am using a font formula provided by Benjamin R. Johnson from IDAutomation.com, Inc.(see the top few lines of the formula below)

The requirement is as follows
format GS1-128, height 32mm, concatenated Bar Code AI02 (GTIN), AI37(Quantity), AI17 (used by date), A10(batch number)


But I am having issues. I am passing
DataToEncode = '(02)10000093539071(37)55(17)130910(10)100913072Z'

I have also tried to pass DataToEncode = '021000009353907137551713091010100913072Z'

I am using IDAutomationC128XXL size 15

The issue I am having is as follows
1. Function 1 character (FNC 1) is missing
2. The bar code is not scanning
3. The height of the bar code is also not compliant

Can you help and guide us on this issue or provide me with a solution to this issue?

Tony

Best Answer

Verify that ApplyTilde = True. It is similar to the forum post that explains how to generate SSCC18 barcodes (similar to GS1-128).

Fifteen points is an invalid size for Code 128. For a list of valid point sizes, view the Code 128 Specifications.
