Be careful with this information. I used it 20 years ago to create bar codes from esc sequences but it was for a dot matrix printer. I'm quite sure that every printer capable of printing bar codes will have some sequence of characters that will allow you to create a bar code without 3rd party software - the trick is finding the documentation.

Doug,
Your best source of information will be the HP COBOL II/XL manual :-)
However, here is some code that I put together that compiles. All but
the 'symbolic
characters' was already in some code I have running and I added your
symbolic
characters part.
I believe there is an implied order in which you specify the options
because I
got a compile error and had to rearrange the 'symbolic characters' to
come
before the 'class' definitions. Also, you only want a single '.' at the
end
of all the special names. That is why your code won't compile.
I thought this code was instructive because it shows a feature of cobol
that
some don't even know exists - the 'class' definition.
Here is the definition under special-names:
SPECIAL-NAMES.
SW0 IS TRACE-SWITCH, ON STATUS IS TRACE-ON
CONDITION-CODE IS C-CODE
SYMBOLIC CHARACTERS NUL IS 01,
LF IS 11,
CR IS 14,
QTE IS 35
CLASS VALID-OP IS "=", "#", "<", ">", "{", "}", "~", "!",
"(", ")"
CLASS NUM-LIT IS "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7",
"8", "9", ".", ",".
And here are some references to these features:
1. MOVE WS-TXT (J:1) TO WS-TEST-CHAR
IF WS-TEST-CHAR IS VALID-OP
...
2. IF WS-PARM-WORK (1:WS-PARM-LEN) NUM-LIT
...
3. if trace-on
display prog-name, "A100-Init -- Dictionary open: ",
QQTDD-OPEN-FLAG
end-if.
4. IF C-CODE <> ZERO
