Steve,
This can be done, but you need to determine first what kind of printer you
will be using to print the bar code. Once you know that, you next to figure
what sort of data the printer requires. Once you know that, you can start
with your programming. I've written several COBOL programs to drive both
thermal transfer and LaserJet printers, but I had to know what kind of
printer the program was driving, and what the printer was expecting.
