Hi all,

I need to send hexidecimal commands to an Epson LQ-570e dotmatrix printer in order to print a barcode on a document. Just trying to send the commands with
?? 0x1B 0x28 0x42 && command to print a barcode
gives a syntax error. Do I need to set up ASCII variables and use
TRANSFORM(variable, format)
to get VFP to send hex codes? Will just assigning a hex value to a variable
local lnPrintBarCodeCmd
lnPrintBarCodeCmd = '0x1B 0x28 0x42'
??  lnPrintBarCodeCmd
give me what I need?

Hacking away....TIA
