Generating UPC Check Digits in Bulk

Morovia offers a check digit calculator online at http://www.morovia.com/education/utility/upc-ean.asp. With this utility, you can calculate check digit by entering your numbers - no matter it is a UPC, EAN, SSCC, GTIN or BLN.  It is a wonderful utility and has been running for many years since Morovia started.

Now, Morovia added another online utility to allow you to calculate check digits in bulk. This is quite useful when you have a range of number. The typical case is the UPC-A numbers you own. For example, you could have a GS1 prefix 123456789, which leaves you 2 digits for your item number. And you want a list of final numbers with check digits.  Repeating 100 times is tedious work on a web page. Now no more.

Go to http://www.morovia.com/bulk-check-digit-calculation/index.php and enter 123456789??. Note that the two question marks repsent any digits in the last two positions.  Click on Submit and the web page send out the answer -
