Change EWC Barcode Entry (CHGEWCBCDE)

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.

Restriction: 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.

Restriction: To execute this command, the user profile requires *IOSYSCFG special authority.

Note: You can 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.
