#58155 - 09/27/21 01:16 PM Custom Data String for Datamatrix Barcode
Finny81 OL Newbie Registered: 09/27/21 Posts: 2	I have a 34 character Datamatrix barcode I am trying to create. All but 5 characters of the barcode are the same each time. The other 5 characters need to capture which record in the dataset it is and have leading zeros for any empty slots. I've been trying to concatenate a custom data string with very little progress. Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.

OL Expert Registered: 09/06/00 Posts: 1984 Loc: Objectif Lune, Montreal, Qc	In your barcode, use a Custom data selection with the following two strings: Code: ='This is a string of 29 chars.' =right('0000'+inttostr(&current.datapage),5) Obviously, change the content of the first string to match the 29 static characters in your own barcode. You can use the same custom selection in a standard Data Selection object to preview the result without having to actually scan the barcode. _________________________ Technical Product Manager I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying - Woody Allen
