    Data string editing

      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

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

          1. Select a code length of 9
          2. String at position = 4
          3. Actions
            1. Send Extended Key <ENTER>
            2. 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.

            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.

            Tsu Beng.
