Printing A Data Source Field With A Prefix Added And Without

Legacy Poster

On a label I have a door code and ship to Zip code that print on the label in two places.  In one location a prefix is needed as the values are being printed as a Barcode.  In the second location the value needs to be printed without the prefix. 

 

I have attempted to use the Transforms (Prefix/Suffix) functionality but it appears to be adding the prefix in both locations.  My take is that it is adding the prefix as on the interface to the label, and not applying to just the barcoded field. 

 

Unless I should be applying the prefix differently, it sounds like I need to add these fields to the data source two times.  This would allow me to add a prefix for the barcoded area, and print it a second time without a prefix. 

 

The attached file has the four fields with the appropriate comments. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

  Object value data source works well with such case.

   

  ex:

  your data is 30052041

  barcode to be read 30052041

  barcode human readable to be shown (300)52041

  text to be shown 52041

   

  then..

  1. Create a barcode ("Bar code 1") with 30052041

  2. In Barcode property > human readable > character template, specify (???)?????

  3. Create a text with datasource: Object Value of "Bar code 1"'s main data source

  4. In text's data source > transform tab > truncate, discard character from left: 3
