Process has the following steps: reading in of an external code (7) with a barcode reader, conversion of the code (7) into an intermediate code, decoding of format information (code-type, length, data- type) from intermediate and external codes, selection of one or more databanks (10) from the format information and selection of data record or records corresponding to the intermediate code. The decoding step involves determination of the length of the intermediate, or determination of the data- type, or determination of its coding type. Once a record matching the intermediate code has been found it is displayed or alternately a message such as un-recognized barcode is displayed. |
