Crystal formula for barcode display shows extra characters in date format?

Crystal formula for barcode display shows extra characters in date format?

Crystal formula for barcode display shows extra characters in date format?

(OP)
Hi All,
Crystal 2016 SP8 in use with SAP Business One.
We have 2 date fields that we are converting to a barcode using the "*"+ (@date)+"*" format. The date field formula basically is just taking a date/time field from the database and converting to text in the proper date format(s).
(ToText({Table.DateTime}, "d/m/yyyy")
In previews in Crystal reports just fine and appears to have the proper date formats, however when we try to scan the barcode we are getting extra 0 characters display. This happens for both android and windows devices.

SAMPLE SCAN DISPLAY:
Date1: 06/O19/O2023
Date2: 23/O06/O20

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you in advance for any ideas

RE: Crystal formula for barcode display shows extra characters in date format?

In the ToText function, make sure that you use upper case M for the month.
Lower case m is for minutes.

HTH
