Hi,

I have to generate a printed page which contains code 128 barcode.
I try to use the Code 128 free font, I can generate the checksum,
it' ok. I have a sample barcode, I try to reproduce it, but the starting
and ending character sometimes differs from the sample.
Can anybody help me?

Best regards,
 Balazs Pinter

Hi Balazs

The start Character must always be:
CHR(104)




The End Character must always be:
CHR(106)

So there should be no difference as you explained....

Just reread the specs from http://www.jtbarton.com/Barcodes/Code128.aspx

If you still have problems please post some code with the BARCODE trying 
to be reproduced.

Kind regards,
Nestor

Hi Nestor,

Thank You for Your quick answer.

I post my sample program, it seems to be good, there is a picture containing
the structure of the code,
and the sample can reproduce the same format. Using the Chr(104) and
Chr(106) characters the
result is not good, I found somewhere a solution which uses the Chr(209) and
Chr(211) and
the limiter characters seems to be right.
The problem is when I embed the code generation modul into my program, the
result is not similar.

Best regards,
Balazs Pinter

Hi Balazs

I found your program to have a few variables that were not declared:

minlni, dummy, checksum and lni ...these variables would then become 
memory variables that retail their values unless reinitialized.

I do not know if that would have anything to do with your results.

But I have taken the liberty to write some code based on the 
specifications found at web site 
http://www.jtbarton.com/Barcodes/Code128.aspx2

I have compiled my code on my side and only tested if I got the correct 
checksum. you can give it a test from your side and let me know how and 
if it works. Also please download the code 128 font from the 
http://www.jtbarton.com/Barcodes/Code128.aspx2

You will also note that my program is much simpler than the one you have 
sent me.


Kind regards,
Nestor
