## MacroCharacter enumeration

Macro Characters 05 and 06 values are used to obtain more compact encoding in special modes. 05 Macro craracter is translated to "[)>\u001E05\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer. 06 Macro craracter is translated to "[)>\u001E06\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer.

```csharp
public enum MacroCharacter
```

### Values

| Name | Value | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| None | `0` | None of Macro Characters are added to barcode data |
| Macro05 | `5` | 05 Macro craracter is added to barcode data in first position. GS1 Data Identifier ISO 15434 Character is translated to "[)>\u001E05\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer. |
| Macro06 | `6` | 06 Macro craracter is added to barcode data in first position. ASC MH10 Data Identifier ISO 15434 Character is translated to "[)>\u001E06\u001D" as decoded data header and "\u001E\u0004" as decoded data trailer. |

## Examples

hese samples show how to encode Macro Characters in MicroPdf417 and DataMatrix

```csharp
[C#]
//to generate autoidentified GS1 message like this "(10)123ABC(10)123ABC" in ISO 15434 format you need:
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.DataMatrix, "10123ABC\u001D10123ABC");
generator.Parameters.Barcode.DataMatrix.MacroCharacters = MacroCharacter.Macro05;
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.GenerateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.GS1DataMatrix);
foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
    Console.WriteLine("BarCode CodeText: " + result.CodeText);
    
//Encodes MicroPdf417 with 05 Macro the string: "[)>\u001E05\u001Dabcde1234\u001E\u0004"
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MicroPdf417, "abcde1234");
generator.Parameters.Barcode.Pdf417.MacroCharacters = MacroCharacter.Macro05;
    using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.GenerateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.MicroPdf417))
      foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
        Console.WriteLine(result.CodeText);

//Encodes MicroPdf417 with 06 Macro the string: "[)>\u001E06\u001Dabcde1234\u001E\u0004"
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MicroPdf417, "abcde1234");
generator.Parameters.Barcode.Pdf417.MacroCharacters = MacroCharacter.Macro06;
using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.GenerateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.MicroPdf417))
    foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
        Console.WriteLine(result.CodeText);
```
