GS1-128

Hi,

I have a supplier that is switching all their barcodes to GS1-128 and I am trying to see if Fast-Reports built-in barcode printing can help... The requirements are

1. Barcode starts with the ]C1
2. AI need to be included i.e. (10), (30) etc
3. After each field value the separator FNC1 code (which I think is ASCII 029 - based on GS documents) has to be included.

A quick play gives me invalid barcodes, barcode must be numeric within Fast-Reports

I guess that someone has solved this problem or found a 3rdparty add-in that allows them to provide this GS1-128 barcode format

Many thanks
Simon

Currently using 5.1.1 VCL

    That is Odd, because I found the <FNC1> code or &1; in the source code which seems to create a valid barcode that can be decoded by a GS1-128 reader

    i.e. you enter the expression or text as

    24031000277&1;17151225&1;3712.000

    The barcode prints correctly and as I said above a GS1-128 decoder can split and recognize the AI codes, so it decodes to

    240 - Product content - 31000277
    17 - Expiry date 12/15/2015
    37 - Quantity 12.00

    Of course the human readable is all wrong, but you can not show the text and add your own label (of course it isn't centered with the barcode)...

    So it appears to work on the surface?

    What do you suggest is used?
    From what I remember none of the alternatives were satisfactory.

    We wanted to upgrade to the latest version in order to make logistics labels.
    But it does not seem like a good idea !!

    Do you think it's really possible tu use FastReport 5 for GS1 ?
