GS1 Barcode in Smartforms

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Have anyone worked on the GS1 barcodes in smartforms

Please let me know the procedure to bring it up in the smartforms.

I know the standard way of attaching the barcode and I have also done it using EAN128/Code128 in the smartforms.

I want to do the same now using GS1.

Please provide your valuable answers.

Thanks,

Hi Jaffer,

I have recently worked on similar kind of reqmnt, in which we need to print GS1 labels.

For this i used simple string concatenate functionality.

Kindly let me know what exactly you want.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have the same problem.

I made a bar codes system font in SE73

using

Code128

Normal alignement

Width 10

Linear height 00800

Code128 mode A

I use it in my style ZCAB defining a character format with it

I use it in my smartform defining the value with

'>;' for STARTC

'>8' for FNC1

'>6' to swith from C to B

'>5' to swith from B to C

Then i send

'>;>8021008396014401110>6L>5162638>837672>8'

I get a bar code but scans dont read it.

I send it to GS1 and they told me there is no FNC1 beginning the code to swith from code128 to GS1 mode.

Any help is wellcome...

Hi,

I've resolved this problem when using Code128 but in mode N.

With mode N, I am sure the barcode begin with start B and the invocations codes are executed (see note 645158)

But the barcode B use a lot of place and SAP has given us a new note which permit to switch between B and C to optimize the size (1019919).

To generate barcode, I use the FM : LE_EAN128_ENCODE.

Also, you can concatenate the value (in your case : 8021008396014401110L162638>837672 => just with >8 for FNC1 after L162638 and without the invocations code in start)

After execution, I convert the barcode with SAP note 1019919 (FNC1 is added in start)

At the end, the barcode = '>;>8021008396014401110>6L>5162638>837672' automatically

(At the end, FNC1 is unnecessary)
