GS1 AI Compatibility List
The list of GS1 AIs supported by StrokeScribe barcode generator. When the EAN128 or GS1DATAMATRIX alphabet is applied, the barcode generator checks the user-supplied data against the AI semantics described below.
An Encoding Example
- Data type = N - numeric value of <Data length> digits.
- Data type = A - alphanumeric string.
- Data type = D - date in (YYMMDD) format.
- Y in the AI value is the decimal point position indicator.
- ASCII GS must terminate each variable-length string.
A typical GS1 string (11)120201(10)123ABCD(3101)123456 with Production data, Batch number and Net weight must be passed to the barcode generator as:
1112020110123ABCD~d0293101123456
~d029 is the variable-length field separator. We need this code here because AI 10 contains a variable length data.
The ProcessTilde property must be switched on to enable the use of ~d and ~x constants. Also, Chr(29) can be used in Visual Basic instead of the tilde sequence:
"1112020110123ABCD" & Chr(29) & "3101123456"
The List of Supported AIs
The list is based on release 18 of the GS1 General Specifications and is effective starting from version 5.1.9 of the ActiveX.
