Here is how you get the check digit for UPC-12.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnGetUPC
(
@UPC VARCHAR(11)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(12)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Index TINYINT,
@Multiplier TINYINT,
@Sum TINYINT

SELECT @Index = LEN(@UPC),
@Multiplier = 3,
@Sum = 0

WHILE @Index > 0
SELECT @Sum = @Sum + @Multiplier * CAST(SUBSTRING(@UPC, @Index, 1) AS TINYINT),
@Multiplier = 4 - @Multiplier,
@Index = @Index - 1

RETURN CASE @Sum % 10
WHEN 0 THEN @UPC + '0'
ELSE @UPC + CAST(10 - @Sum % 10 AS CHAR(1))
END
END


E 12°55'05.25"
N 56°04'39.16"
