I can’t help you with your Report Designer issue, but if you are planning to only use that QR code to scan something into a wadaco process, you can always try and change the FNC1 Separator character in wadaco instead if char 29 causes problems.

Since its FNC1 is totally configurable in wadaco and usually most scanners can be change to use other FNC1 characters for GS1 I think.

FNC1 Separator:
The FNC1 separator character used when a GS1 barcode is scanned. A GS1 barcode that contain a variable-length data element, that is not the last field, must have a delimiter following the last data character to indicate where that data character ends, and the following data element begins. The Group Separator character, ASCII value 29, is used as a default value in the GS1 standard. Please note that this is not a visible character in the scanned barcode string. In the scanning device, the character representing the separator can be re-defined. For example, the ASCII value 93 can be used which corresponds to the "]" character.

Note: The FNC1 Separator can be set on the Data Collection Basic Data/General tab, a configuration specific value can be set on the Data Collection Configuration/General tab. Changes to the basic data value will only affect new configurations copied after a new value has been saved.

Thank you very much for your reply I did find the issue and then worked out that ASCII 93 would work.   Unfortunately I couldn’t get the QR Code barcode to work with GS1.   The ONLY barcode that worked as the DataMatrix.

Anway, thank you so much for your reply.

Dear all

if you want to test the GS1 datamatrix with the standard separator (ALT29), you can use Notepad++.

You type ALT-29 on the keyboard and you will have the right separator displayed. You copy the line and paste it in the WADACO transaction you need and it should work without any problem.
 

An attached file with my data, we can see the GS like separator ALT-29

IFS Report Designer only supports GS1-128 and GS1-DataMatrix at the moment. GS1-QRCode is not supported. See details on how to utilise it here: 

Hi,

The content is restricted and not available for me. Is it possible to share it somehow? I’m struggling with group separators in IFS Report Designer.

• GS1 Barcodes in IFS Report Designer
  • GS1-128
    • Possible
    • How? 
      • Use Code Type “EAN-128” in the Barcode Properties in IFS Report Designer. This will automatically add the opening FNC1
      • If additional FNC1 separators are needed you can either simply add a space “ “ or “Ê” to the text in the RDF which will be interpreted as an FNC1.
  • GS1-DataMatrix
    • Possible!
    • How?
      • Use Code Type “DataMatrix” in the Barcode Properties in IFS Report Designer
      • Set “ProcessTilde” to “Yes” in the Barcode Properties in IFS Report Designer
      • In the RDF instead of adding CHR(29) add “~1” or “~d029” as text. Due to the “ProcessTilde” option this will then be converted to an FNC1
      • For further details see page 24 and 70 of the Barcode Library documentation: http://www.java4less.com/barcodes/BarcodesGuide.pdf
  • GS1-QRCode
    • Not possible!
    • Why?
      • The barcode library used by IFS supports the “ProcessTilde” option both, for DataMatrix as well as QR Code (see page 40 of the linked PDF)
      • Unfortunately, unlike for DataMatrix, the way QRCodes have been implemented in IFS Report Designer gives you no way to set the “ProcessTilde” option (we’ve tried everything, including trying to hack it in the RDL file with a text editor)
    • We have raised case CS0322489 for this.

Thank you!
