Merging Data Into One Barcode

Legacy Poster

Hello, I'm new to bartender.

I want to create a label that prompts for data. I figured out how to do that and I have it asking production date, line #, run number and pallet number. I want to create barcode that pulls from the individual fields and makes one barcode, example; yymmdd-line#-run#-pallet#. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

  Hi, I'm also a newbie here. I just want to share since this might be something you're looking for.
  Here's what we do to concatenate the fields:
  
  1. Create a field
  2. Set data source as "Visual Basic Script" and the type as "Multi-line Script"
  3. Click Edit. Then you can have something like this:
  
  val1 = Format.Objects("Field1").Value
  val2 = Format.Objects("Field2").Value
  val3 = Format.Objects("Field3").Value
  val4 = Format.Objects("Field4").Value
  
  Value = val1 + "-" + val2 + "-" + val3 + "-" +val4

  It's easier if you just create multiple data sources (A.K.A. sub-strings) for the barcode object.
