UPC-A, UPC-E, and Composite Script Methods

The following script methods are specific to this barcode symbology. Additionally, you can use the Common Script Methods for Barcodes.

Tip: If using these script methods in a business rule, select the Rhino script engine.

Tip: Script methods with names beginning with get or is retrieve the current value for a property. Script methods with names beginning with set configure a value for the property.

Note: If using UPC-E, provide data on which zero suppression has already been performed.

Note: Composite barcodes have a 2D portion followed by a linear portion. In the barcode data, the 2D portion appears first and is followed by a composite delimiter (|) and then the linear portion.
