Good afternoon, I have a question, I have to make a report and in it I have to print a barcode (code-128), can someone help me with the logic that I should do in the Clarion embedding, thank you very much

There are a few threads about barcode on Clarionhub. Try doing a search.

For example, here is one Generate Barcode in Clarion

3

I did see the thread, but I have no solution in this case for an application developed in Clarion 5b, which for reasons of time I cannot pass it to Clarion 11

4

Apologies for not clarifying that I am working with Clarion 5B

Did you investigate the link of the suggestion of using the font? Here is the one for Code-128 The code 128

Yes, I’m looking into it

As Jeff said. Years ago, I did it in a C6 app only using the font for this

Ok I’m going to try it but I don’t think it works, thanks

Don’t know with the code-128 font, but with the 3of9 font you must use a string content to show/print using with the barcode font and surround it with *
For example,
LOC:StringProductBarcode = '*' & CLIP( PROD:LongProductCode) & '*'

hello, I use the font 3 of 9 but for few characters, now we need the code 128 because it is 59 characters and has better compression, the barcode is shorter and readers can read it

The problem with Code128 is that you need an encoder.

Do you know how to implement a CLASS object via a .inc file into Clarion 5 ?

12

That’s right I need an encoder or the logic to code. Regarding the Class via Inc I did it a while ago

13

I need to use code-128, for compression it has 59 digits

14

JSlarve already posed a link to the logic … GrandeZebu encoder

I translated that for my encoder, I will look it out for you (or you can look on the newsgroup, I am sure it is there as well).

15

Don’t look for it because I already got it, but it doesn’t work, I’m checking the logic

16

What about to just use the DLL from the Zint generator?

17

Flavio the problem is that I have developed this application in clarion5b and the zint is from clarion 6.3

18

The Zint itself is made in C and TCL…
Maybe you can use de Clarion 5’s LibMaker to make a proper lib to use the Zint DLL…

Hi !
There are no dependencies on the version of Clarion in the ZINT class.
Paste this simple code into your application.

[After Global Include]  
  Include('zint.inc')

[Local Procedure]
Loc:MyZint  ZintClass
  Code
  ...
  Loc:MyZint.Setting(ZINT_BARCODE_CODE128)
  If Loc:MyZint.WriteToFile('4712780582862') = 0
     Report$?Image{Prop:Text} = Loc:MyZINT.FileName
  end

This is not the most effective solution if you need to create thousands of labels.
It shows how to work with the code through a file.
