Barcode400 Features

Native AS/400 - All processing is done on your AS/400

No Programming Required:

You can print labels using your existing iSeries/AS400 database without programming!

Easy Integration:

• Barcode400 is as flexible as you want it to be. All processing is done directly on the iSeries/AS400 making it easy to integrate with your existing iSeries/AS400 applications and print labels without middleware software.

• Inside your RPG, COBOL, or CLP program you simply make a PROGRAM CALL to Barcode400, passing a few parameters. The CALL dynamically merges iSeries/AS400 variable data into a previously designed label format and prints it!  No hard coding is necessary. The label format can be changed by a non-programming personnel, without changing or recompiling your application program.

System Integrity:

All data, programs and label formats are centrally located on the AS/400.

Proven/Reliable Hardware & Software - The superior security of the iSeries/AS400 is used to maintain the integrity of the labeling system. This software is so versatile that multiple users connected to a midrange computer can design and print labels at the same time.

Safe and Secure - The entire labeling system (data, formats, programs) can be backed up as part of the routine iSeries/AS400 backup/restore procedure. No separate procedure to be written.

Revisions and Compliance - All label formats are centrally located and available to all users. This eliminates the headache of maintaining the same label format on multiple Personal Computers. Risk of using old or revised label templates is eliminated.

Central Management - Integrity and security can be enhanced with one person in charge of maintaining label formats, even if your company has remote sites! For example, a programmer or non-programmer at the corporate office in New York can design formats for its manufacturing and distribution centers in Tennessee and California. Label formats and graphics become available to all users the instant they are saved.
