barcode printing

[Guest_imported]

Please help me with this: I'd like to know how to create & print barcodes (for a combination
of letters & digits) in RPG please (without any barcode tools)?
I've seen a dds keyword somewhere in this forum; I'd also like to know how to
use that keyword. I would appreciate very much if you could give me an answer a.s.a.p. Thanks in advance.

In the RPG nothing is different for barcode then for any other typed field. Everything is defined in the PRTF-DDS: try using the keyword BARCODE ;
BARCODE(bar-code-ID [height] [[*HRZ | *VRT]
[*HRI | *HRITOP | *NOHRI] [*AST | *NOAST]
[check-digit] [unit-width]
[wide/narrow-ratio]])
Look in the V4R4 or latest OS/400 DDS-Reference book for more info.
