Crystal Macola Bar Code Functions

[wwwedward]

Does anyone know the difference between the functions Convertmacolastringtocode128(a,b,or c). I have choosen b simply because it is what ICR uses.

Thanks

Hope this helps :
Character set A allows for uppercase characters, punctuation and numbers. Lower case characters create several special functions in set A such as a return or tab. It may be necessary to use set A to manually encode these functions in a barcode.

Character set B is the most common because it encodes everything from ASCII 32 to ASCII 126. It allows for upper and lower case letters, punctuation, numbers and a few select functions.

Character set C encodes only even numbers. Because the numbers are "interleaved" into pairs, two numbers are encoded into every barcode character which makes it a very high density barcode. If the number to encode is not an even number, a leading zero should be added. Our Code 128 auto function [Code128()] in our products will automatically switch to set C as necessary and also encode the FNC1 character.
