2D Bar code PDF417 character length?

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am printing 2D bar code and I am getting only 255 character when I am scanning the bar code.

But I am passing around 1800 character .

Printer is printing 255 character only rest character truncated .

My Bar code parameters are in SE73-

Bar Code Symbology : PDF 417

Bar Code Alignment : Normal

Narrow Module Width : 04

Linear Height : 00300

Single Row Height : 00030

1. of Columns (1-30) : 16

2. of Rows (3-90) : 10

SecurityLevel : 0

Truncation

Suggest me how to get rest of the character all 1800 character .Any changes required in parameters let me know.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Do you use a symbol for the barcode string in the smartform? The reason for the problem is that the length of a symbol in a

Smartform is restricted to 255 characters(see SAP note 485296). You need to split it into more than one symbol. e.g.

Character Format BC

&Barcode_part_1&&Barcode_part_2&&Barcode_part_3&

There is a problem if you enter it like this:

<BC>&Barcode_part_1&&Barcode_part_2&&Barcode_part_3&</>

into a text node in transaction SMARTFORMS. The editor automatically breaks it into 3 separate barcodes.

<BC>&Barcode_part_1&</><BC>&Barcode_part_2&</><BC>&Barcode_part_3&</>

The solution is to put the:

<BC>&Barcode_part_1&&Barcode_part_2&&Barcode_part_3&</>

into a sapscript standard text(transaction SO10) and include it into the Smartform as a text type 'Include text'.
