hi,

The SAP barcodes are not defined for a specific printer. A printer barcode is created by assigning a particular printer type and certain control sequences to this printer. Whether a barcode can be output on a certain printer depends on whether a corresponding printer barcode of the same name is maintained for this printer type.

1> Go for the transaction se73 (SAP script form maintainance)

select the radio button -

---

>system bar codes.(to create a barcode of ur choice)

2> Assign the character format B1 with the barcode(created in se73) in the smartstyyle transaction.

3>Now by using the character format B1,for which we have assigned the barcode you can use it like this

<B1> Hello world </>

Plz do reward if useful.

The question is for scripts. (Smartstyles are for Smartforms only)

Sudheer is correct, mostly.

You have to add </> after the field, so if you have a character format AN for the barcode, the code is

<AN>&fieldname&</>

Also, this is very printer specific. You must be sure the printer supports barcodes.

For example, HP printers need a special DIMM installed for SAP barcodes. (this is not the regular barcode DIMM. There is a specific one that SAP uses.)

There are OSS notes for more specific information on this.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rico,

To create Bar code, first create a character format say BC in the smartstyle.

You can see a seperate small window for Barcode in the character where you can select a Bar Code which you like. Activate the smartstlye.

In the smartform, inside a text element suppose consider if u want to print the bar code for the Purchase order Number whose field name is V_PONUM.

To create a Bar Code for the Purchase Order Number, give in the text element as shown below:

<BC> &V_PONUM&

This will generate a Bar code for the PO Number.

Please Reward points if Useful.

Thanks,

Hi,

You need to create a Chrecterformat, in the charecter format you need to select the BARCODE, then in the SAPSCRIPT you can write like below

<AN>&p_batch&

Where character format AN has BARCLVS under Barcode.
