Internal dBase Database Database Functions The Database Functions include: Creating and Defining a New Database; Adding, Changing or Erasing Records From a Database; Erasing a Database Field, Browsing or Searching the Database; Printing, Erasing the Database, Modifying a Database Structure.
Printed Documentation Since the software's database structure is compatible with dBASE III, III+ and IV file structure, databases can handle up to 128 fields per record, over 4000 bytes per record and more than 1 million records per file. NOTE: When fields are displayed on the screen for purposes of editing or viewing, only those fields that will fit in one window will be shown. Having a print out of the structure of your dBASE fields will serve as a reminder of those fields not seen.
Internal dBase Database Data Type Valid field types are as follows: • • • • • Character Numeric Logical Memo Date Field Length This is the maximum number of characters or digits that are to be contained in the field. Date, logical and memo fields are fixed length fields. Decimal Places The number of decimal positions in a numeric field. The value entered here should be 2 less than the field length of the numeric field value.
Printed Documentation require a different number of labels. For example, when multiple locations are used to shelve an item. BARSUPP allows you to suppress the printing of all bar codes on a particular label when using the $all function. This would be used to prevent attempted reordering of a discontinued item or attempted ordering of a vendor replenished item. When BARSUPP is used as a field name the absence of a character means print the code. The presence of any character means suppress the code.
Internal dBase Database BACK to TOP Modifying a Database Field To modify a database field, highlight the field to be modified and then click the Modify Field icon or choose Edit | Modify Field from the Database Structure Management screen. The data type, field length or number of decimal places is modifiable. The name of the field cannot be modified. If you need to modify the name of the field, you must first erase the field then add or insert a new field.
Printed Documentation Because of the software's compatibility with dBASE III, III+ and IV, updating a database file in dBASE is possible. If an index file exists, but is not updated at the same time the database is updated, the first time you access the database in the software, a Dialog Box will appear stating that the index is out of date. At this time, you can choose OK to update the index or Cancel (ESC) to continue without updating the index file.
Internal dBase Database Erasing an Index File To erase an index file, highlight the index file then click the Erase Index File icon or choose File | Erase Index File from the Database Structure Management screen. Updating a Database To update an existing database, click the Create Database File icon from the Database Structure Management screen. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to Recreate the Database. If you have made changes that you wish to keep, click OK, if not click Cancel.
Printed Documentation While adding several records to the database, the last record entered is left on the screen. Similar field data will not have to be retyped for subsequent records. For example, this allows you the ability to change only a single character in a 10 character part number field without retyping the entire part number. When entering paragraph information, you can use a text editor.
Internal dBase Database unchanged. Click Add Records to add more records to the database. New records are added to the end of the database. Unmark All This function unmarks all records that are marked for printing. The records will not be unmarked automatically after the database is printed. Therefore, you must choose to unmark the records after printing. This function applies to the ALL records that are marked for printing. Mark for Erase This function marks the viewed record for erase.
Printed Documentation A window that displays one entire record at a time. To open a table in Form view go to the Database Records Management screen and select the Form view icon.

Advanced ActiveX What is Active X? ELabelPrinter ELabelJob ELabelInfo ELabelBatch Documentation and Examples ActiveX The software contains a set of ActiveX controls that can be easily embedded into Visual Basic applications or any other environment that supports ActiveX controls (such as Visual C++, Microsoft Access, etc.).
Printed Documentation ELabelInfo The ELabelInfo control allows for read-only access to many of the properties of a label format. In addition, some of the field properties can be accessed. None of the properties of the label or its fields can be modified by this control. Documentation and Examples For descriptions of the methods and properties available, see the documentation file ELabelOCX.doc that is installed in the software's directory.
Advanced by a final NULL character. Keyword operands must be separated by blanks and a semicolon must terminate each job like in a batch file. Example: LabelCommand("formatname=c:\\files\\emerald formatcount=(1,10) partno=654321 quant=144;"); LabelJobQuery() The LabelJobQuery() function can be used to obtain the current status of any active or waiting job using its job number as an argument. The information displayed in the Print Queue is the information that can be returned with LabelJobQuery().
Printed Documentation print the first label was 1/2 second. Using method two, the time to print the first label using was 2 seconds. If you would like the software to pause before printing a set of formats and allow you to test print or cancel the set, you would use the Test Print option. With the Test Print option turned on, when a new set of formats is processed, 3 options will be presented: Test print the format, Print all formats in the batch, or do not print any formats in the current batch.
Advanced Using Command Files To use this function, you must create a Command File following certain rules. This file can reside on any drive and must have the file extension of .cmd. The file contains the name of the format or formats to be printed, the value of any variable fields, the value of any database search fields, which printer to send the formats to and the quantity to be printed for each particular set of formats.
Printed Documentation follow the formatname clause and precede the testprint clause or any fieldvalue clauses. testprint The testprint option is of the form: testprint=on or testprint=off For succeeding records, the option retains the value it was last set to. It is initially set to off. fieldvalue The fieldvalue clauses in each command record are in the form: = Each variable field or database search field must be specified using one of these clauses.
Advanced or useprinter=23 The purpose of useprinter is to select the correct printer for this format if you have more than one printer connected to the system. The index numbers used in the useprinter clause are not constant and may change as printers are added or printer properties are changed. It is better practice to identify a printer using the printername clause.
Printed Documentation The singlejob clause is of the form: singlejob=on or singlejob=off The purpose of singlejob is to process one command file job at a time. If you have multiple jobs in a command file, jobs will be released to the print queue one at a time and sent to the printer much faster if singlejob is turned on. If singlejob is turned off, jobs in the command file will not be released to the print queue and sent to the printer until the entire command file is processed.
Advanced The purpose of the outputfile clause is to print the labels to a file instead of to a printer. When specifying the outputfile clause, you must provide the name of a file. Specifying the name of an existing file will append new information to previous information. Specifying a new file name will create the new file. The outputfile clause cannot be specified if the useprinter clause is being used in the same command file record. For example, if you need to print the labels to a file called control.
Printed Documentation The purpose of the sort dbase clause is to sort all records in a specific database file using a specified sorting order. The sort dbase clause must end with a semicolon (;). For example, to sort a part number database by part number, the sort dbase clause would be: sort dbase=parts.dbf orderby=(partno); cancel job and cancel useprinter The cancel clause has two forms.
Advanced The getstatus useprinter clause is of the form: getstatus useprinter=number; The getstatus useprinter command can be used to get the current printing status of the printer. Status returned from the printer will be written to a file called n.dat, where n is the number of the printer number defined, and is the number specified on the getstatus line.
Printed Documentation When issued, the close command will exit the label software. Commands and Switches To run the software using the Command File facility, the command is typed at the DOS prompt using the following structure: c:\subdirectory\EASY commandfilename [switch] [starting record] Where: subdirectory is the name of the directory that contains the program files. - EASY is the command to start the program. - commandfilename is the name of the Command File you wish to run.
Advanced To run the same Command File with monitoring mode enabled, type: win c:\wineasy\easy store /W If the software is configured for User Signon, the /U and the /P switch parameters can be used to by-pass the Signon dialog box. /U id Allows you to specify a User Identifier, where id is the user ID as defined in the Add, Change or Delete Users screen. This switch must be used with the /P switch parameter.
Printed Documentation Command File Monitoring Mode The software can be placed in a command file monitoring mode. The purpose of the command file mode will be to watch the hard disk for changes in a Command File and automatically print the specified number of formats. When Command File Monitoring is enabled, the software will watch for a change in a specified Command File every quarter second. A Command File will start up the program either as a minimized icon or as fully maximized.

Printed Documentation History and Overview FIM or Facing Identification Mark is a 9 position bar/no-bar pattern. The FIM patterns are used by business mailers on preprinted mailing pieces for compatibility with various United States Postal Service automatic sorting systems. There are four FIM patterns (A, B, C, D) that can be printed. FIM A is used on Courtesy Reply Mail, with preprinted Postnet symbology in the address.
Bar Code Information accept messages only of the correct length. 14 or 16 digits are generally used for the distribution industry. Bearer bars are used to help prevent the partial scan from being decoded as a valid Interleaved 2 of 5 symbol. They must touch the top and bottom of all of the data bars. Minimum width of bearer bars should be three times of the narrow bar width.
Printed Documentation Encoded Information Contingent upon data requirements although an even number of digits is required. A leading zero is used if there is an odd number of digits available. Allowable Size Minimum "X" Dimension: 0.075 inches Wide to Narrow Ratio: 2:1 to 3:1 with "X" Dimension > .020 inches 2.2:1 to 3:1 with "X" Dimension < .020 inches The SSC-14 specifications outline "magnifications" that are allowable. Allowable Symbol Height: The greater of .25 inches or 15% of the symbol length.
Bar Code Information Like POSTNET Codes, PLANET Codes have 12 digits and consist of tall and short bars. PLANET symbology is the inverse of POSTNET because each POSTNET digit has two tall and three short bars and each PLANET digit has three tall and two short bars. All PLANET barcodes include a five-bar checksum digit or correction character. This digit is always the number which, when added to the sum of the other digits in the barcode, results in a total that is a multiple of 10.
Printed Documentation and the Uniform Code Council (UCC). It is not intended to be used for data to be scanned at the point of sales in retail outlets. UCC/EAN-128 offers several advantages. It is one of the most complete, alphanumeric, one-dimensional symbologies available today. The use of three different character sets (A, B and C), facilitates the encoding of the full 128 ASCII character set. Code 128 is one of the most compact linear bar code symbologies.
Bar Code Information These AIs contain data to identify: An article, the data field includes the EAN-8, EAN-13 or EAN-14 item identification number. The AI for an article is 01 plus up to a 14-digit number. A logistic unit, which must be given a unique serial number called the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC). It provides companies with a facility to identify logistic units (pallets, drums, rolls) for tracking and tracing purposes.
Printed Documentation NOTE: For date fields that only need to indicate a year and a month, the day field is set to "00". *Plus one digit for length indication. **Plus one digit for decimal point indication. UCC-12 (UPC A) History and Overview The Universal Product Code (UPC) has been successfully employed in the retail industry in the United States and Canada since 1973. UPC is a coding system as well as a symbology; it is designed to uniquely identify a product and its manufacturer.
Bar Code Information The checksum is a Modulo 10 calculation. 1) Add the values of the digits in positions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. 2) Multiply this result by 3. 3) Add the values of the digits in positions 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. 4) Sum the results of steps 2 and 3. 5) The check digit is the smallest number which, when added to the result in step 4, produces a multiple of 10. Checksum Example Example: Assume the barcode data is 08137919805.
Printed Documentation If the last 3 digits of the manufacturer's number are 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900, the valid product code numbers are 00000 - 00099 (100 numbers). If the last 2 digits in the manufacturer's number are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90, the valid product code numbers are 00000 - 00009 (10 numbers). If the manufacturer's number does not end in zero, the valid product code numbers are 00005 - 00009 (5 numbers).
Bar Code Information Product Identification Number (five digits) Check Digit (one digit) Allowable Sizes Sizes for the UPC-E are determined by a "magnification" factor which is based on the "X" dimension size. These magnifications range from 80% to 200% of the nominal size, or 100% size (1.46 inches in width, 1.020 inches in height, "X" dimension - 13 mils). UPC E1 History and Overview Typically used for shelf labeling in the Retail environment. It is numeric only and fixed length.
Printed Documentation History and Overview Aztec Code was invented by Andy Longacre of Welch Allyn Inc. in 1995 and is in the public domain. Aztec Code was designed for ease-of-printing and ease-ofdecoding. The symbols are square overall on a square grid with a square central bullseye finder. The smallest Aztec Code symbol is 15x15 modules square, and the largest is 151x151.
Bar Code Information c) Data capacity (at recommended error correction level): 1. The smallest Aztec Code symbol encodes up to 13 numeric or 12 alphanumeric characters or bytes of data. 2. The largest symbol encodes up to 3832 numeric or 3067 alphabetic character or 1914 bytes of data. Selectable Error Correction a) User-selectable, from 5% to 95% of data region b) Recommended level is 23% of symbol capacity plus codewords.

Printed Documentation History and Overview CODABLOCK was developed as a stacked version of the standard bar codes Code 39 and Code 128 able to encode the information context when the label is not wide enough and therefore several shorter bar codes should be printed. Each row indicator, which shows the orientation of the reading and two check characters, which guarantee the accuracy of the whole message. There are three varieties of this code.
Bar Code Information History and Overview Code 49 was developed by David Allais in 1987 at the Intermec Corporation to fill a need to pack a lot of information into a very small symbol. It is a multiple-row, continuous, variable symbology encoding the full ASCII 128 character set. Each row is composed of 18 bars and 17 spaces. There are between two and eight adjacent rows, each divided by a separator bar.
Printed Documentation 2 to 8 rows Maximum Message Length 49 alphanumeric characters or 81 digits Check Characters 1 per row, plus 4 or 6 per symbol Net Data Density Maximum of 93.3 alphanumeric characters per inch or 154.3 numeric digits per inch when printed using a 7.5 mil X dimension. Other Features Concatenation ability, Rows may be scanned in any order. DataMatrix History and Overview The public domain code DataMatrix was developed by International Data Matrix (now CiMatrix).
Bar Code Information and 500 characters. The symbol is also scalable between a 1-mil square to a 14inch square. That means that a Data Matrix symbol has a maximum theoretical density of 500 million characters to the inch! The practical density will, of course, be limited by the resolution of the printing and reading technology used. The code has several other interesting features.
Printed Documentation Data Capacity 1 to 2000 Characters Symbol Error Detection 16-bit or 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check Symbol Error Correction Convolutional Code Algorithms EAN/UCC Composite History and Overview An EAN.UCC Composite symbol consists of a linear component (encoding the item’s primary identification) associated with an adjacent 2D Composite Component (encoding supplementary data, such as a batch number or expiration date).
Bar Code Information Code Type Linear component: continuous, linear bar code symbology 2D Composite Component continuous, multi-row bar code symbology Maximum Numeric Data Capacity (including implied application identifiers and calculated check digits where appropriate, but not including any encoded FNC1 characters): Linear component: UCC/EAN-128: up to 48 digits EAN/UPC: 8 or 13 digits RSS Expanded: up to 74 digits Other RSS: 16 digits 2D Composite Component: CC-A: up to 56 digits CC-B: up to 338 digits C
Printed Documentation Data compaction: The 2D Composite Components utilize a bit-oriented compaction mode, designed to encode efficiently data using application identifiers. Component linkage: the 2D Composite Component of each EAN.UCC Composite symbol contains a linkage flag, which indicates to the reader that no data shall be transmitted unless the associated linear component is also scanned and decoded. All linear components except EAN/UPC also contain an explicit linkage flag.
Bar Code Information Approximately 100 ASCII characters can be held in the 1-inch square symbol. The symbol can still be read even when up to 25 percent of the symbol has been destroyed and can be read by CCD camera or scanner. Specifications: Character Set All 256 ASCII Characters Symbol Size 1.11 inch x 1.054 inch nominal (including Quiet Zone) Nominal Element Size 0.035 inch x 0.

This includes all ASCII characters value 0 to 127 inclusive and provides for international character set support MicroPDF417 is designed for applications where the symbol must be smaller than PDF417 will allow. PDF417 History and Overview PDF417 is a two-dimensional, stacked, public-domain barcode developed in 1990 by Symbol Technology.
Bar Code Information PDF417 symbols require a 2D scanner; they cannot be read using an ordinary linear barcode scanner. A number of scanners are on the market using both laser and CCD camera technologies. PDF417 symbologies can be printed using most laser printers or label printers on the market.
Printed Documentation QR Code is in the public domain and it is read by using CCD array cameras and image-processing technology because of the layout of the finder pattern. QR Code symbols are square in shape and can easily be identified by their finder pattern of nested alternating dark and light squares at three corners of the symbol. Maximum symbol size is 177 modules square, capable of encoding 7366 numeric characters, or 4464 alpha numeric characters.

Printed Documentation Composite Bar Code The Composite Symbology, incorporates a linear component with a twodimensional composite component, this helps address supply chain applications not being met currently. It will allow for the co-existence of symbologies already being used and can be supported by both laser - and imaging based scanning equipment. By using a linear component as a finder pattern for the 2D composite component, scanning performance can be enhanced.
Bar Code Information padded in the data after the linkage character to make up the correct amount of characters. Instructions Thirteen digits must be entered for the linear RSS-14. If thirteen digits are not entered, leading zeros will be added. When creating a composite bar code, a pipe symbol ( | ) must be used when separating the data between the linear and 2D bar codes. Example Using the data 2001234567890 will create a linear Standard RSS-14 with a human readable of (01)20012345678909.
Printed Documentation (true) or 0 (false). This character is not included in the entered data and will not appear in the scan. The next 14 digits will be the entered 13 characters plus a check digit that is calculated by the software. If less than 13 characters are entered, zeros will be padded in the data after the linkage character to make up the correct amount of characters. Instructions Thirteen digits must be entered for the linear RSS-14 Truncated.
Bar Code Information uses a 01 Data Identifier. It also uses a linkage flag which would be 0 (false) or 1 (true). A 1 is used only if the bar code has a 2D bar code attached to the linear bar code. Neither the Data Identifier nor the linkage flag needs to be entered by the user as part of the data. The linkage flag will not appear in the scan.
Printed Documentation Stacked Omni-directional bar code uses a 01 Data Identifier. It also uses a linkage flag which would be 0 (false) or 1 (true). A 1 is used only if the bar code has a 2D bar code attached to the linear bar code. Neither the Data Identifier nor the linkage flag needs to be entered by the user as part of the data. The linkage flag will not appear in the scan.
Bar Code Information Instructions Thirteen digits must be entered for the linear RSS-14 Limited. If thirteen digits are not entered, leading zeros will be added. When creating a composite barcode, a pipe symbol ( | ) needs to be inserted between the data that will be in the linear barcode and the 2D barcode. Example Using the data 1501234567890 will create a standard RSS-14 Limited with a human readable of (01)15012345678907. The 01 is the Application Identifier and the last 7 is the check digit.

Also, again, under "Special Formatting" for printing choose: 1 - Short Date or 3 - Julian Date. To have a date printed in any other format, such as European format, select option 4 - Custom Date. You will then need to enter the character string for the format you wish. 2) The second method requires only one field. The field must have a "Source of Data" as 'Arithmetic'.
Appendices In certain situations, it may be beneficial to transfer report files to a host system. This is accomplished with the 'write text file' function in the report section. After you have converted the report file to an ASCII text file, any communications package which allows for file transfer between PC and host will be able to send this file. A simple routine on the host system can then insert this information into your host database.
Printed Documentation refer to Adding a Text or Paragraph Field and Adding a Picture Field for more information. 3. Once the format is designed, the format can be printed. When printing the format, the software will merge the correct text file and graphic with the correct database information when the operator enters a value for the database search key.
