Re: Re[2]: Uploading barcodes

["Alfred Kraemer" <akraemer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Very interesting. Is there a limit of barcodes that Innopac can handle in a
paste operation of the kind which David described?
Do you have to use regular or slow paste? (We use QVT)
I vaguely remember trying something similar a couple of years ago: after
about 40 barcodes Innopac stopped taking pasted barcodes, however, other
emulation packages may produce different results.
If you have had positive results with pasting large number of barcodes into
Innopac screens with a barcode prompt, let us know.

Thank you,
