Object Response Tag (FormatChecksum)

ClosedDescription

Returns the checksum value for an object on a label. Checksum digits for individual label objects are calculation numbers that record the information about the object at a specific point in time. If you want to reprint the label at a later date, you can compare the checksum digit first recorded for that object with the checksum digit for the object you are about to print to see if the two numbers match. If they match, it confirms that the object has not changed. If they do not match, it confirms that the object has changed. Once you know they are different, you can decide if you want to change the data so that the objects match again of if you want to print the new label with the changed object.
