Does anyone know the relationship that exists between a UBE running on the AS400 and output that gets generated in the .PDF?
Specifically, in terms of code pages (EBCDIC vs. ASCII)?
I am trying to print Code128 barcodes from an iSeries. Here is what I have:
- I am using fonts from Azalea
- I have duplicated their sample code to produce valid barcodes when run locally (windows platform)
- Our output is only required on PDF's (no label printing yet)
- The fonts have been installed on the IFS at /b7333sys/RESOURCE/truetype/
- we have another barcode font (Code 39) that works on both platforms just fine (however, the Code128 is much more complex in that is requires certain vendor-specific control codes and also has 3 character sets)
- When I view the actual hex values of the generated barcode string and compare the 2 platforms, I see they are the same.
As the UBE runs, is the output converted to ASCII and then 'imaged' onto the PDF?
I would have thought that as long the input to the font had the same hex values (irregardless of platform), the output should work.
So is anyone printing Code128 barcodes from an AS400?
Thanks!
