  ****************************************************************

  in IBM printers with the DBCS outline font feature.
 
  ****************************************************************
  5799-DGX (POSTAL BAR CODES)                   (AS OF 08/20/97)
  ****************************************************************
    PRPQ 5799-DGX (OFTEN CALLED THE ZIP+4 POSTNET BARCODE PRPQ)
    PROVIDES ONLY ONE SIZE OF THE BARCODE.  IT IS A 12-POINT
    FONT.  THE PRPQ ALSO PROVIDES THE FACING IDENTIFICATION MARK
    PATTERNS AND THE BUSINESS REPLY BAR. 240dpi and 300dpi fonts
  are provided.
    THE IBM 3800 PRINTING SUBSYSTEM (MODELS 3, 6, AND 8) CAN
    PRINT THE BAR CODE BUT NOT THE FACING IDENTIFICATION MARK
    OR BUSINESS REPLY BAR.  THEY EXCEED THE 3800 LIMIT OF 128
    PELS OR LESS IN EITHER DIMENSION (HEIGHT AND WIDTH).
    THEREFORE, THESE THE FACING IDENTIFICATION MARK AND
    BUSINESS REPLY BAR ARE NOT PROVIDED IN UNBOUNDED BOX
    FORMAT (THE 3800 FORMAT).
    USING THE BAR CODE, THE ACTUAL CHARACTERS PRINTED MUST
    BE:
                * 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C *
      WHERE * IS X'FA AND IS THE BEGIN AND END CHARACTER
            1 IS FIRST ZIP CODE DIGIT
            9 IS LAST ZIP CODE DIGIT
            C IS MODULUS 10 CHECK DIGIT
    THE BEGIN AND END CHARACTERS ARE AT CODE POINT X'FA
    AND ALL OTHER CHARACTERS ARE PRINTED USING THEIR
    RESPECTIVE CODE POINTS IN THE CODE PAGE (0 IS X'F0,
    1 IS X'F1, ETC).
    THE MODULUS 10 CHECK DIGIT IS CALCULATED BY ADDING ALL
    OF THE ZIP CODE VALUES AND SUBTRACTING THE SUM FROM THE
    NEXT HIGHEST MULTIPLE OF 10.  FOR EXAMPLE, ZIP CODE
    803019191 ADDS UP TO 32.  WHEN THIS IS SUBTRACTED FROM
    40 (THE NEXT HIGHEST MULTIPLE OF 10), THE RESULT IS 8.
    THEREFORE, THE CHECK DIGIT IS 8.  THIS CHECK DIGIT MUST
    BE CALCULATED FOR EVERY ZIP CODE.  APPLICATION CODE OR
    A POST PROCESSING PROGRAM COULD PERFORM THE ACTUAL CALCU-
    LATION, OR IT COULD BE STORED IN THE CUSTOMER'S DATA
    BASE.  HOWEVER, IT CAN'T BE CALCULATED IN THE AFP PAGE
    DEFINITION.
    THE PRPQ CAN BE USED TO GENERATE THE NEW 11 DIGIT POSTNET
    BAR CODE.  CALCULATE THE CHECK DIGIT AS ABOVE AND PRECEED
    AND FOLLOW THE STRING WITH THE X'FA CHARACTERS.
       * 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 C *
