Special syntax for PDF417 bar codes
When using PDF417 bar codes, a single bar code can be used to contain all
the index data for a document or batch. To facilitate indexing with PDF417 bar
codes, a special substring syntax has been added in Capture Software:
[# OF DATA ELEMENTS IN BAR CODE; DELIMITER USED TO SEPARATE
DATA ELEMENTS]
The delimiter can either be the actual character symbol or its ASCII decimal
numeric value (for symbols that cannot be printed or typed). The delimiter must
be contained in double quotes (“).
For example, if a PDF417 bar code contains the following data:
12345678*NURSERY*11/19/1962
the following could be used as default values for the three index fields of data:
Default Value
Actual Value
<BC_PDF417>[1; “*”]
12345678
Returns the 1st element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk.
<BC_PDF417>[2; “42”]
NURSERY
Returns the 2nd element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk
(42 is the ASCII decimal value for asterisk).
<BC_PDF417>[3; “*”]
11/19/1962
Returns the 3rd element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk.
