Add the barcode statement to your DDS.

H2BARLITM     25        70BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2  *NOHRI         +
                                             (*WIDTH .007)   +
                                             (*RATIO 3.00) )

When you compile your print file, specify DEVTYPE(*AFPDS).

yep, the printer has to support *AFP. You complie the file as *IPDS, but the printer has to support this too.

And just because your nice windows printer will print bar codes and pretty pictures, does not mean it supports *AFP or *IPDS.

I agreed with above replies but width 0.007 is minimum barcode printsize that provided by the system my using that width my barcode printing in 2 Inches. and i like to print my barcode in 1 Inch. mean i need to reduce it more 50%

if you know any printer setting in print InfoPrint 6700, or any changes in rlu, rpg etc.
Looking forward for an early reply

From the manual:

Note:	The overall barcode width is dependent on:

    * Ratio or width parameter in user DDS.
    * Actual customer data in the barcode.
    * Limitations of printer hardware, such as PEL density, pins and so on.

Maybe you can try adjusting the ratio. The manual is located here:

 BARCODE(bar-code-ID [height] [[*HRZ | *VRT] 
  [*HRI | *HRITOP | *NOHRI] [*AST | *NOAST] 
  [check-digit] [unit-width] 
  [wide/narrow-ratio]]) 

Im with terry mess with this

H2BARLITM 25 70BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *NOHRI +
(*WIDTH .007) +
(*RATIO 3.00) ) 

---------



Try *RATIO 2.00

A            BAR1           6          BARCODE(CODE3OF9 *NOHRI +   
A                                      (*WIDTH 0.010) (*RATIO 2)) 

more stuff

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *NOHRI (*RATIO 3-) X'01') 

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 *NOHRI (*RATIO 2) - X'01') 

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 *NOHRI (*RATIO 2) - X'01') 

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 *HRI (*RATIO 2) X'- 01') 

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *NOHRI (*RATIO 3) X'01') 

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *NOHRI (*WIDTH 0.007) (*RATIO 2) X'01') 

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *NOHRI (*WIDTH 0.007) (*RATIO 2) X'01') 

BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *HRI (*WIDTH 0.007) (*RATIO 2) X'01') 

No matter what anyone says ... to be a good programmer you have to
be willing to experiment. (test -whatever)
Look at the values going in and attempt to adjust them to see what happens.

see what ya get

You could just do what we do in our shop, use 3rd party software such as LSDForms in which you just define from position to position on line xx, and will reformat it for you whenever it prints. You can also change the font, size, etc. Never have to worry about programming for these thiniggly little things again.

Re: How to Print Barcode using RPGLE, RLU

thanks for all of you to support me by the way i resolved that issue using
CODE128
BARCODE(CODE128 1 *HRZ *NOHRI (*WIDTH 0.007))

if somebody knows any font then smaller then it then please let me know. i will apprecite him.
