You can create the first field formatted as it can handle all the code. Then, into the RETURN event of the field (assuming that you using an SmartWindow and your barcode reader do a CR/LF at the end of barcode reading) you use the content of the first field and split it into two fields. Something like this :

DEF VAR cField1     AS CHAR NO-UNDO FORMAT 'x(50)'.
DEF VAR cField2     AS CHAR NO-UNDO FORMAT 'x(50)'.

UPDATE cField1 WITH WIDTH 333. /* Here you 'bip' your barcode */

ASSIGN cField2  = ENTRY(2,cField1,'|')
       cField1  = ENTRY(1,cField1,'|').

DISP cField1 cField2.

Hope it helps.
