GOAL:
4GL/ABL: How to print barcode from Progress 4GL/ABL?
GOAL:
Do we need a 3rd party software to print barcode from Progress 4GL/ABL?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
Use the 4GL/ABL PUT CONTROL statement to send the control and escape sequences strings as required by your printer.
Generally a third party software is not required to print barcodes from 4GL/ABL. What is required is a printer that is capable of printing barcodes and its programmer/developer manual that explains what code sequences to send to that printer to generate the desired barcodes.
A sample 4GL/ABL PEG freeware procedure that creates ESC-sequences for a bar-code-stringcode in Code39 format is available from:
