>>They have code which creates a string of data to send to a LaserPrinter using PCl commands.

>>
>>lcStringtoPrint is a string of data which has in it the NDC of a drug, the Rx number and the Quantity. The values are converted to ASCII codes to send to printer, so they won't be simple strings of just numbers.
>>
>>If the Quantity is 50, it prints the barcode.
>>
>>When it is 60, it throws up a Syntax Error
>>
>>Normally, about 98% of the time, the barcode prints just fine. But about 2 % of the time, given certain combonations of NDC, Rx and quantity, the barcdode will give a syntax error.

>>Here is a sample of the string in the VFP Debugger....
>>
>>bad - quantiy of 60
>>“Š 6s M |$z \{‹”
>>
>>good - quantity of 50
>>"Š 6s M Nsb >]‹"

>>Anything look amiss? Any thoughts ??
