TransLution Scripting Functions
TransLution supports a number of ways to make a specific function do exactly what the customer requires even if the functionality is not part of the standard functions described earlier in the on line help. The main way to extend the TransLution functionality is by using stored procedures or embedded visual basic code (called Visual Basic Provider or VBP).
The main difference is that a stored procedure acts on scanned data and is an extremely useful way to validate scanned data or log data to custom tables as it is scanned. Stored procedures are however not a great way to interact with external applications or hardware such a printing labels or reports or even running third party applications. This is where our VBP functionality is important.
Suggestion prompts are a third kind of scripting that are really used to guide an operator but not to force them to scan a specific value. This is also covered in detail below.
The final function that we use stored procedures for is the Query function. This is a stored procedure that can be run to return information about a scanned barcode independent of a scanner job. This is done by having a '?' on both EazyScan and EazyTouch forms.
