Re: Bar Codes
I am confused. Lets say the bar code field has a value of "CAT". Do you need a field with a Hex representation of CAT, an ASCII rep of CAT? So the printer is not attached to the 400 and you are sending a file to mainframe? In that case i'd say screw em, them the mainframe "add" this barcode field to what they need. You are not building a real barcode so I would not fart around with EBCDIC to ASCII.
