Code128 - interpretation of AI length in HRI

Tagged With:-

I'm using Crystal Reports alongside the product Barcode Generator for Crystal Reports (Code 128 & GS1-128 (IDA97)) to generate labels.

One barcode I'm currently struggling with is comprised of three elements: GTIN (02), Number of units (37), and Customer purchase order number (400). GTIN is a fixed length (14 digits) element and the other two are variable length. Using the following for human readable: IDAutomation_Code128HumanReadableTilde ("Ê02" & {@barcodeA1} & "37" & {@barcodeA2}& "Ê400" & {@barcodeA3})
I get the following printed: (02) 0641489450060937120 (400) 123456789

Using this version: IDAutomation_Code128HumanReadableTilde ("Ê02" & {@barcodeA1} & "Ê37" & {@barcodeA2}& "Ê400" & {@barcodeA3})
I get the following result: (02) 06414894500609 (3712) 0 (400) 123456789

My challenge is that there is not an AI 3712, so I'm not sure why it is resolving it. it should return (37)120. How would this influence the machine-readable format between the two options above?

Thanks, Colin

Brant	Best Answer It appears you are creating the barcode correctly. The human-readable interpretation and decoding of the GS1 AIs is provided as a courtesy and will not affect the data that is encoded. IDAutomation recommends testing the result with the Barcode Data Decoder App Posted 4 year(s) ago (1) (0) Report Abuse

Yes, and you can also test scan your data with the Barcode Decoder Verification App from a mobile device. Enable the parser to see the decoded info.

Thank you, Brant. Can I submit a PDF version of the label for you to verify if the barcodes are reading correctly too?
