128 Barcode

[Naval]

Hi All,
I use fusion pro for EFI Digital Storefront to build templates for my customers. I have a customer who wants 128 bar code generated from DSF. The Code is WBD00005001 and on wards. Can any one please help me on how do i get FP to generate 128 bar code and also the serial number. I have attached a PDF of what i am working with. Any help will be much appreciated.

This sounds like a ticket-type job, where you would have a data source of "None" and set the record range on the Input tab of the Composition Settings dialog. Then you could make a rule like so:

var data = "WBD" + FormatNumber("00000000", 5000 + FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber);
return'<span><f name="IDAutomationC128L">' + Make128Barcode(data) + '</span><br>' + data;

And insert that rule's name into a text frame.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by a serial number.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for that. For some reason it is not generating a barcode for me. I have attached what i have done so far. I am trying to upload this to EFi DSF for customers to order as well and trying to compose it is fusion pro but it is not generating barcodes.

Do you know what could be causing this.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Hi Naval,
The code provided did create a barcode for me.
You need to put it in a rule and then place the rule in a FusionPro text box.
I've attached an example. A data file isn't needed because the rule is creating a sequenced number.

Thanks Dan & Leo,

I have got that to go now. Do you guys know how i would incorporate this with EFI Digital Storefront? As it needs a data source for me to be able to upload this on DSF. Any ideas?

Hi i am trying to produce 5000 bar codes but i keep getting:
Incomplete entity definition ÇÎ
Incomplete entity definition ÇÎ
Unknown Entity &ÇÎ in record 6

It is not only record 6 but there are other records with same issue
Would you know what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

You need to convert the raw barcode data to tagged markup, with the TaggedTextFromRaw function, like so:

return'<span><f name="IDAutomationC128L">' + TaggedTextFromRaw(Make128Barcode(data)) + '</span><br>' + data;
