On Barcode, MSR, or RFID Scan

This option runs a script each time the scanner is used. To execute a script using this method, launch the TE Client and then use the scanner.

The following sample script inserts a string (which could be just one character long) after the first six characters of any barcode at least six characters long.

A few notes about this sample script:

• ScanData is a string variable with the original barcode.

• NewString is a variable where you store the new barcode.

• ScanType is the number variable that keeps the type of scan data received.

• OldLength is an integer variable.

• XXYY is the string you insert.

OldLength=String_Length(ScanData)

If (Number_Greater_Than_Or_Equal(OldLength,6))

NewString=String_Combine(String_Left(ScanData,6), “XXYY” )

NewString = String_Combine(NewString,String_Right(ScanData,

Number_Minus(OldLength,6)))

Else

NewString = ScanData

End_If

Scan_String(NewString,ScanType)

Return

This second example converts any DataMatrix scan values to PDF417 scan values. The ScanData and ScanType variables described for the previous example are used again.

If (Number_Equal(ScanType,Get_Scan_Type_Value("DATAMATRIX")))

Scan_String(ScanData,Get_Scan_Type_Value("PDF417"))

Else

Scan_String(ScanData,ScanType)

End_If

Return
