Hello Guru's:

Using VFP 6.0.

Has anybody created a barcode from a control charater before?
Trying to implement the <enter> command:
&Code39($M)

Thanks,
PM
 
You can try using CHR(10) + CHR(13), but you may have better luck setting your field to accommodate only the actual length of data and issuing a SET CONFIRM OFF.

PM,
Normally you can configure the barcode scanner to include a Return or not.

Good afternoon all:

Thank you all for the response.

I am aware of programming my scanner however, I have a customer that just wants a barcode that will trigger an enter command. For a better example. the program the customer uses to post his packages he can hit f12 key to post therefore, by scanning a barcode it will act as if he were to hit 'F12'. I used enter as an example for me regarding this issue.

Thanks,
PM

You may want to try using (Although I'm not sure of the result)
KEYBOARD '{ENTER]'
