Using BCOCA to produce bar code resources PSF for z/OS: User's Guide S550-0435-04 |

Using BCOCA to produce bar code resourcesBy using a set of structured fields called a bar code data object or BCOCA object, you can direct some PSF-supported printers to produce bar codes. A bar code data object specifies the type of bar code (the symbology), its size, and positioning information. Many different bar code symbologies can be produced by use of bar code data objects. A bar code data object can be included in a print data set or in an overlay resource, or it can be created from bar code specifications in a page definition. PSF accesses resources and sends them to the printer with the print data set. When you create a bar code data object, you have these options:
If the bar code is stored as a resource, you can change some of these properties at print time. For more information about coding bar code data objects and about the options you can specify, see Mixed Object Document Content Architecture Reference, AFPC-0004 or Bar Code Object Content Architecture Reference, AFPC-0005. For information about coding bar code specifications in page definitions, see Page Printer Formatting Aid: User’s Guide. |
