Barcode in Smartform

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to display the VBAP-EAN11 field as a bracode in a smartform. I need it to look like this example:

I have created a new barcode in SE73 but I can't get it to look the same. Are there any standard settings that I should use?

The setttings I have are as follows

Symbology: Code 128

Alignment: Normal

Narrow Module Width: 06

Linear Height: 00300

Code128 Mode: A

UCC Check Digit: X

Particularly I am missing the numbers underneath the barcode and the longer lines at the begining middle and end.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

I think I need the barcode to be in the EAN13 format. The standard barcode in SE73, BC_EAN13 is an 'old technology' one so I can't use it on my smartform because we would need a barcode printer. What I really need is a way of converting this to the new technology.

Hi

Have you tried to use the barcode C128A? It should be just defined in your system

I have C128A_00 and C128A_01 but they are both 'old technology' so they don't print out without special hardware.

Hi

That's your definition:

Symbology: Code 128

Alignment: Normal

Narrow Module Width: 06

Linear Height: 00300

Code128 Mode: A

UCC Check Digit: X

That's the std one

SAP Bar Code Name C128A

Bar Code Symbology Code 128

Bar Code Alignment Normal

Narrow Module Width 06

Linear Height 00150

Code128 Mode: A

Anyway u should see the barcode in the spool, not in printpreview.

U should consider the smartform doesn't print the barcode in the format you post in [url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/barcoderobot/teasers/ean13.png, if you want the code under barcode, u need to do it by yourself

• <BC>&VARIABLE&

• &VARIABLE&

Where BC is the charcter assigned to the barcode

If I change the settings to the ones you suggest I just get a barcode that is half the height of the one I have already. I can see this is the print preview and it still doesn't look like an 'EAN-13' one.

Hi

Ok so use your first definition.

Anyway u should see the barcode in the spool, not in printpreview.

U should consider the smartform doesn't print the barcode in the format you post in [url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/barcoderobot/teasers/ean13.png,

Particularly I am missing the numbers underneath the barcode and the longer lines at the begining middle and end.

That's as the number is overwritten at the buttom of barcode, but I don't think the smartform can do it.

If you want to be sure the barcode is write correctly, u should print it and try to read by a device can read the barcode.
