Yes, this is very easy.

First, create a method like the following either on your Report element or in the relevant Section.

display str 30 barcodeRefNum()
{
    Barcode     barcode;
    ;

    barcode = Barcode::construct(BarcodeType::Code128);
    barcode.string(true, custPackingSlipJour.packingSlipId);

    return barcode.barcodeStr();
}

Note the BarcodeType enumeration that provide you with options other than 128.

Then, add a String control to your report and use your new method as the data method. You could also have attached the display method directly to the underlying table if that's better for you. Finally, set the width, height, and alignment, and finally the font to your required symbology, i.e. "BC C128 Wide". Code 39, 128, UPC, and several others come with the Dynamics AX client.

Good luck!

My code example was from an existing SalesPackingSlip report where I used the custPackingSlipJour.packingSlipId field. Obviously you would supply your own source field or value.

Hi,

Add 'barcode.encode()' line before return statement.

On AX 4.0 at least, the barcodeStr() does the encode() automatically.

public BarCodeString barcodeStr()
{
    if (!encoded)
        this.encode();

    return barcodeStr;
}

what report will you add barcode to. If you are crystal reports or RDLC reports, the barcode generator sdk can help you.

Hi, Jane313.

Thanks for your nice sharing. I wonder whether it is the latest version of the Barcode Reader? I am also looking for a fine barcode scanner whose way of processing is simple and fast to help me scan aztec barcode. It will be better if it offers free trials for users to check. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pan
