Title: Bar Codes and Checksum
Post by: dinos on 18 Dec 2009 11:43:20 AM
Hi all,

Has anyone out there used a barcode and written an expression in Cognos that generates the checksum value based on the type of barcode you are using?  We need to support multiple barcodes, like code3of9, code128, UPC, etc.  Some of these require a checksum.

Cheers.

I believe you should just install the necessary font on the Cognos 8 server(s). You can view the documentation to install fonts here http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/c8bi/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.crn_arch.8.4.0.doc/crn_arch_id3631arch_AddingFontstotheCognos8Environment.html.
