i'm having trouble 128 Barcode issue, old rule not working in FP VDP 9.2.26

[dalespivey]

Hi, would love some help with this one.

 

I've updated my Mavericks Mac to FP VDP 9.2.26 now my barcode 128 rule is giving me an incorrect output.

 

The JS code that worked in earlier versions was:

 

return Make128Barcode (Field("formid"));

 

I've tried the two preloaded rules for 128 and still get non-working results. I've attached the template and other files, nothing real special here.

 

All help is appreciated, let me know what I've overlooked.

Why not use the XML Rule template, i.e. 128 B Barcode. Then in the frame where the barcode will appear, insert this rule from the "Variable" drop box. No need to apply the font as it is specified in the Rule. Does this work?

Hi Alex,

 

Nope, that doesn't work either. I still get a non-working barcode.

 

This rule and my JS code above still works in 9.1

send me your files to fusionprosupport@pti.com

Exactly which version of FusionPro were you using previously that generated the barcode correctly? Also, do you have an example of output from that previous version with the correct barcode?

Hi Dan, I used Mac FP VDP 9.10 with my JS code in my original posts, files are also attached to post. Here's a screenshot of the merge, I'll email an example to the support address in a minute.

Thanks for the information, Dale. I've identified the cause of the problem, and it will be fixed in an upcoming release.

 

In the meantime, you can work around the problem in your 9.2 installation by editing the Builtins.js file at "/Library/Application Support/PTI/FusionPro". Please back up the Builtins.js file before modifying it! Open the file in any editor, such as TextEdit, and search for "ConvertWindowsEncodingToNative". There should be two instances of this string in the file. All you need to do is remove these strings, leaving the rest of the line intact. So there's a line like this in the file:

return ConvertWindowsEncodingToNative(Make128BarcodeBase_Result);

That should be changed to this:

return (Make128BarcodeBase_Result);

And there's a second instance for 2 of 5 barcodes like this:

return ConvertWindowsEncodingToNative(barcode);

Which should be changed to this:

return (barcode);

Then save the file. This should fix the problem.

Dan, this did the trick, thanks!
