the bar code type.
You can enter the bar code data in this field, or update the previously

to a length of 58 characters. If you need to enter more than 58
characters of bar code data, press F4 (Detail) to enter the Define Bar

If the previously defined bar code data is longer than 58 characters,
three periods (...) will be displayed at the end of this field. It means that
more bar code data exists.
Pressing Enter validates the entered parameters. If they are valid, the
define or change takes place. Then the define bar code operation
completes and the key entry area disappears from the display.
If the data entered does not match the bar code specification, an error
message appears on the bottom of the display, the data field image is
reversed and the operation does not take place. See “Bar Code Data”
on page 259 for more information.
