Special Conditions if UCC Case Mode is Selected
1. More than 19 digits in ^FD or ^SN will be eliminated.
2. Fewer than 19 digits in ^FD or ^SN will add zeros to the right to bring count
to 19. This produces an invalid interpretation line.
Code 128 Subsets
The three Code 128 character subsets are referred to as Subset A, Subset B, and
Subset C. A subset may be selected in one of two ways:
1. A special Invocation Code can be included in the field data (^FD) string
associated with that bar code.
2. Place the desired Start Code at the beginning of the field data. If no Start
Code is entered, Subset B will be used.
To change subsets within a bar code, place the appropriate Invocation Code at the
appropriate points within the field data string. The new subset will stay in effect until
changed with appropriate Invocation Code. For example, in Subset C, “>7” in the
field data changes the Subset to A.
The table below shows the Code 128 Invocation Codes and Start Characters for the
three subsets.
