Changing subset in Code128 barcode

OL Connect Professional Designer

Hi all. We have a barcode requirement for a code 128 barcode in the format AA123456789. The barcode must start as subset B, and then switch to subset C after 1. In 7.6 I would achieve that by setting the barcode to be AA1^09923456789, but this no longer works in Connect. Can somebody advise how to achieve what we need?

I did quite a bit of digging and if anybody is looking for this also, the way to do this is:

  • Make sure the barcode is compliant with what you’re about to force on it
  • Set the subset to whatever the starting set is (not auto)
  • Ensure process tilde is ticked
  • At the position of the switch
    • input ~d199 to switch to C
    • input ~d200 to switch to B
    • input ~d201 to switch to A

So, the value from the original post in Connect should be
AA1~d19923456789

I just love it when our users manage to answer their own questions and then take the time to provide that answer for the benefit of every one else. I truly appreciate the effort :slight_smile: .

In this instance, I will ask our documentation department to add this information to the online help.

Thanks again for this, @puszczyk !

My pleasure, @Phil, only fair given the amount of help I got from this community :slight_smile:
