Barcode with empty datafield

rbuser

Hello all,

I'm using the TppDBBarcode component with Barcodetype = bcEAN13. Sometimes
the value of the datafield is empty or filled with 1 digit. Reportbuilder
complains about this and wants 12 digits (13 with check). Can Reportbuilder
fill the value of the dataset with a prefix or something else to solve this?

Hi Jos,

ReportBuilder job is displaying data. You need valid EAN codes. It makes no sense, IMO, to display non valid or virtual EAN codes.
Invalid EAN codes are ignored.

Chris and others,

I know you're right. It would be very helpfull for me if Reportbuilder could
do this in some way. Maybe other users who solved a problem like this??

Hi,

I have found a work around to this by simply adding leading zero's until I
got the correct lenght. Report Builder stopped complaining but I admit it
would have been nice not to have any validation on the component side (or
just be able to turn it on or off for development purposes).
