Regarding Barcode in sapscript

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!

i am using standard barcode in sap script that is BC_CD39 but it is lil too big for my output scenerio eg its height is 15 mm.

i found one more barcode in sap script that is CD39_00 which has right height that is 5 mm. but whenever i tried to print this barcode is not printing instead the actuall value is printing.

i am using

BI<BC>&BCODE&<>

where bi is the paragraph and bc is the character format. its working fine with bc_cd30 but not with cd39_00.

Is there anyway i can make it work

thanks in advance.

Hi

Check the printer on which you are printing this barcode

Because the BArcodes are printer specific and all printers doesn't support the all Barcodes

see the doc on barcodes

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes

A barcode solution consists of the following:

- a barcode printer

- a barcode reader

- a mobile data collection application/program

A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number

in machine readable format.

There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.

You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.

Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.

Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
