Data Identifiers within Barcode values

2004-08-04 10:42

We need the ability to insert Data Identifiers(static text) with our Barcode values. Any ideas or thoughts on how one could do this?

Forgot to mention earlier that we are running ontop of the 0.3.2 version of the iReport application. We would like the scanned value of barcode to be as follows: -DI-barCodeValue.

Example: -K-ProductNumber

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Use textfields instead a static text, and put a "static" expression like

 

"123456"

First off I apologize for the length of this post:

 

The values for the barcodes need to be a string complying to the following format "-DI-value". Example: "-K-123456" would be used for the scanned value of a product number of "123456". The "K" is simply a data identifier which our logic uses to determine that we have just received a Product Number whose value is "123456".

 

In the example provided "123456" is a dynamic value supplied by a Report Variable titled VHMFNO. If we specify a Barcode Expression of

"-K-"+$F{VHMFNO} it fails to compile with the following exceptions being thrown.

 

dori.jasper.engine.JRException:?Errors?were?encountered?when?compiling?report?expressions?class?file: D:iReport-0.3.2MOTraveler.java:397:?unclosed?string?literal ????????????????value?=?(java.awt.Image)(it.businesslogic.ireport.barcode.BcImage.getBarcodeImage(5,""-K-"+((java.lang.Double)field_VHMFNO.getValue()) ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????^ D:iReport-0.3.2MOTraveler.java:398:?unclosed?string?literal ",true,false)); ^ D:iReport-0.3.2MOTraveler.java:399:?')'?expected ????????????????break;

 

However if we specify a Barcode Expression of

$F{VHMFNO} + "-K-" it compiles fine and generates a barcode whose value is "123456-K-".

 

Which is exactly the oppposite of what we need. Just wanted to bring this to someones attention.
