CHGEWCBCDE (Change Extended Wireless Controller Bar Code Entry) Command Description

CHGEWCBCDE Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Change Extended Wireless Controller Bar Code Entry (CHGEWCBCDE) command changes a set of bar code group parameters in a extended wireless controller source file member. The bar code group defines the parameters for scanning a particular bar code label. The Portable Transaction Computer (PTC) group specifies the bar code groups that are used to configure the bar code scanner.

 

Restrictions

  1. If the values specified for the INZFILE and INZMBR parameters of this command do not match the values specified for the corresponding parameters of the wireless controller description, extended wireless controller configuration data will not be downloaded to the wireless adapter.

    Note: Use the Change Controller Description (Local Work Station) (CHGCTLLWS) command to view or change values specified for the INZFILE and INZMBR parameters in the wireless controller description.

  2. You must have *IOSYSCFG special authority to use this command.

 

Required Parameters

BCDGRP
Specifies the name of the existing bar code group to be changed. This name is used to identify configuration data related to a bar code group. The bar code group name is a unique alphanumeric character string with a maximum of 16 characters in length.

INZMBR
Specifies the extended wireless controller source file member of the bar code group. This member contains the bar code configuration data that is changing.
