TAB in barcode with sapscript on HP LaserJet

[Former Member]

Hi all.

i'm trying to output a barcode in SAPscript, on a laser printer. My variable is a concatenation of 3 fields, separated by a <i>TAB</i>. The scanner of course needs to react properly to this <i>TAB</i> character.

we're using a software solution for printing barcodes, instead of the hardware (chips).

I've tried the following barcode types in SAPscript, to no avail:

<b>BARCLVS

BC_93

BC_CD39

CD128A_00

CD128B_00

CD39C_00

CD39__00</b>

If someone has accomplished this exact scenario, could you please give me any information to help me out:

<b>- variable concatenation in print program.

- barcode type in SAPscript.</b>

Thank you.

Hi,

I guess you should be using a DLL to print a barcode from SAP.

Code 39 and code 128 can encode TAB.

IDAutomation a third party dll provider gives automatic encoding of TAB in your text. Go thru' this link.

http://www.idautomation.com/code128faq.html

Will be helpful. Please let me know the exact scenario.

Are you using a dll?

What type of barcode you are trying to print?

How many characters you need to pringt in a barcode?

Feel free to revert back.

Hi Ragu.

Thanks for answering.

I had closed the post a little while after creating it.

We are going a different way with the barcode, we will not encode a TAB in it.

Regards,

Jesse.
