would like to set Symbol scanners to populate the field with the string scanned in a right to left fashion
 
Eg:-
a)      Scanner scans the string 123456789 into a field of 6 char is 456789
b)      Scanner scans the string 987654321 into a field of 2 char is 21
c) Scanner scans the string 654789123 into a field of 100 char is 654789123
 
BaBarcode length is not fixed and capture field is not fixed

Hi Adam,

So far, I don't see any rule in 123scan2 that fits your need.
Btw, even if the scanner able to display last data 1st, the result will be as below:
a)  Scanner scans the string 123456789 into a field of 6 char is 987654
b) Scanner scans the string 987654321 into a field of 2 char is 12
c) Scanner scans the string 654789123 into a field of 100 char is  321987456 

For your requirement, I would recommend as below:
1)If you able to modify barcode, please do print the barcode data with your desire data 1st.
eg. the barcode string should be 987654321.
Then the field with 2 char, will have 98 left.

2)Rearrange the data in application programming logic.
Accepting the scan input from scanner, then rearrange in application programming logic.

Hope this helps.

Using the 123 Scan Configuration utility I believe an ADF can be created that will achieve this.

Select a code length of 9
String at position = 4
Actions

Send Extended Key
Send All that remains.

I have not tested but I think that will take care of your first scenario.  The same method should work for the second scenario as well, just change the String at position to equal 8.  I may be off a digit on this too.  I am a beginner.  I also don't know how to combine the rules.
