Crystal Reports 2013 - Code 39 Barcode

Question

I was hoping someone might be able to help me getting the Code 39 function working to convert data to a barcode in Crystal Reports 2013.
Seems to be the work around from a UFL 'u25azalea.dll' error I was receiving.
I’m following the directions found here: http://www.azalea.com/crystal-reports-custom-functions/code-39/
I created a new function named “Barcode” with the func_Code-39_Full code:
Function (StringVar input)
Local StringVar temp;
Local StringVar chunk;
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To Length(input) Do
chunk := input[i];
Select Asc (chunk)
Case 0:
temp := temp + "%U"
Case 1 To 26:
temp := temp + "$" + Chr(Asc(chunk) + 64)
Case 27 To 31:
temp := temp + "%" + Chr(Asc(chunk) + 38)
Case 32:
temp := temp + "_"
Case 33 To 44:
temp := temp + "/" + Chr(Asc(chunk) + 32)
Case 45 To 46:
temp := temp + chunk
Case 47:
temp := temp + "/O"
Case 48 To 57:
temp := temp + chunk
Case 58:
temp := temp + "/Z"
Case 59 To 63:
temp := temp + "%" + Chr(Asc(chunk) + 11)
Case 64:
temp := temp + "%V"
Case 65 To 90:
temp := temp + chunk
Case 91 To 95:
temp := temp + "%" + Chr(Asc(chunk) - 16)
Case 96:
temp := temp + "%W"
Case 97 To 122:
temp := temp + "+" + Chr(Asc(chunk) - 32)
Case 123 To 126:
temp := temp + "%" + Chr(Asc(chunk) - 43)
Case 127:
temp := temp + "%T";
"*" + temp + "*"
Then I created a new Formula named “TripNumBarcode” and dragged the Functions\CustomFunctions\Barcode (input) function into the Formula Editor window which looked like:
Barcode ()
I then dragged another Formula I use to calculate the trip number into this function:
Barcode ({@TripNumber})
But I’m getting an error of
A string is required here.
Any advice?

See this KBA:
1546515 - Error: UFL 'u25azalea.dll' that implements this function is missing
The KBA contains a solution of sorts. The ADAPT the KAB refers to is still set for SP 9 which should be out end of March +.
