Hi.

You cannot rotate the variable to print it vertical. The only way is to print it like this:

W

E

L

C

O

M

E

If in your case, you are gonna print numbers. You could create vertical images for all numbers (0,1,2...9) and print the correct images for your number (example: 35846). Then you could have the text to print vertical.

Hi

if you want to print only 'material number' text in secondary window... make secondary window width minimal 1 ch and increase the height of window

you will get the result in Veritical. result for materi number.

if you want to print material number variable in mainwindow / seconarday window ,

Create a font using SE73 , go to System barcode - change mode

select the line "KUNAUNR Kundenauftragsnumme", dbclick. , you can see

no barcode type mentioned, like this, create new barcode sytem font and finally give the rotation % , we have 4 different %, 0, 90,180, 270, you this font in your character font/ paragraph font, you can get the result. but make sure printer should support this functionality

SAPScipt:

You can create vertical text on the same form with the horizontal text. You can actually place this in the same window as the horizontal text if desired.

Your printer has to support the print controls associated with the vertically rotated Bar Code you pick or create. You can see this in transaction SE73. There are several 90 degree rotated bar codes provided by SAP. These are C128A_01, C128B_01, CD39C_01, and CD39__01. You can copy these and change the rotation to your needs. You can also assign the bar code to you custom defined device type for your printer. Again, it may or may not be supported by all printers in which you choose to print. Testing will be critical on all printers on which the SAPScript will be printed.

From your SAPScript, SE71, you will need to create a character format and assign the vertical bar code to it. Make sure your window height will support the desired output. Typically, you have a window declared with only the vertical text, but it is possible to place both vetical and horizontal in the same window.
