On the BARCODE keyword, the option of printing (*AST) or not printing (*NOAST) the asterisk character applies only to the CODE3OF9 barcode. When specified with a barcode other than CODE3OF9, the *NOAST value is ignored.
Response: Remove the (*AST) or the (*NOAST) keyword from the BARCODE keyword parameter list, or use a barcode other than CODE3OF9 as the first parameter.
