Incorporate Bar Code in Oracle Reports
Hi,
I want to incorporate Bar code font in character based oracle reports.Kindly let me know how to go about implementing it.Secondly is there any site from where i can download the bar code fonts freely.Also does Oracle provide Barcode fonts for Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance
Deepak
hello,
from your question i understand that you want to create a barcode in a character mode report. this will be very difficult as it requires the destination printer to be able to print barcodes. a barcode font will not help here, as charactermode reports do not leverage fonts other than ones available in the printer.
usually it is more to creating a barcode than just printing the value in barcode font. most barcodes need special algorithms to create chechsums and similar stuff.
you might want to look into our barcode example that shows you how to use a java bean to generate a barcode.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/BarcodeBeanPaper/index.html
oracle does neither ship barcodefonts nor java beans to generate barcodes for production purposes. the supplied sampels are for demo purposes only. however there are several commercially available fonts as well as javabeans on the market.

philipp

How to use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle Reports 6i
How to Use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle 6i. One of my clients has a requirement that Customer Name and Address to be converted into PDF417.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
PNYou will need to add this font to the system and Reports configuration files.
For adding font to the system, refer to your system specific guidelines for installing new fonts.
After you have installed this font on the system, you should be able to see the font in Reports builder font picker dropdown box. or with unix 'xlsfonts' command
For adding this font to the Reports application.
1. Modify the printer definition file ( you can get this info from uiprint.txt file for the .ppd or .hpd file used )
if the printer defination file is .ppd then look for "*Font Information" section and add the new font name there
like *Font <new_font_name> Standard '(00.1001)" Standard ROM
If hpd add the new font tfm file as
FONT= new_font_name
/tfm=new_font_tfm file.tfm
2. Copy the AFM or TFM ( these are fonts metrics files, which font vendor will provide ) into the relevant directory so the the Reports application should pick them up.
3. If necessary, make changes in the alias file (uifont.ali ) for mapping to this font. If the layout objects in your report are associated with the same font name as the new font then mapping is not required. But if the fonts for the layout objects are different then you need to map the original fonts to the new ones. Make sure that the mapping rules should be defined in the right section depending on the printer type being used. -
Bar Code in Oracle reports 2.0
We have a requirement to print a barcode on a pick slip report (generated in Oracle reports 2.0) such as the pick slip number so that it can be scanned. Does any one have ideas on this? We are printing the pick slips on line printers (genicoms).
Thanks in Advance,
MagThanks for the suggestion
I checked their web site and their solutions seem to be work if you have Oracle reports 6.0 or greater. Unfortunaltely we are still in Oracle reprots 2.0, has anyone got some ideas.

Bar code font in Report server 10g
Hi
I am using an Oracle 10g Application server on SUSE linux 10 . I have a report up and running, but the bar code font ,how to install ??
Please help me
Dhanawhich fonts i should use in printing the Report in Network printer under AIX Environment.No idea, I don't work on AIX. Try this site:
http://www.idautomation.com/
2D bar codes are not supported in Reports. You will need a Java solution. See this thread:
Re: how to use 2 d barcodes in reports 6i
This thread also has the suggestion to create the 2D bar code as an image. Of course, you still need some other program to create this image first. -

How to generate Bar codes from Crystal Report
I understand that Bar Codes can be genrated from Crystal reports. I am using CR 2008 and trying to convert my Inventory items to bar codes. it does convert it and I can see the bar codes but it looks like; just a garbage and scanner does not recognze it plus the numners are missing @ the bottom.
Anybody has ever tried this and have some simple instructions to start with.
Any help will be appreciated highly.
Regards,Hi,
What barcode are you using and what barcode font?
If you are using Code39 or Postnet then you need to make sure your values are formatted properly by creating a formula and using the barcode functions.
Have a search in the forum for barcodes. It's been talked about a lot and you should find your solution.
Good luck,

Print Bar code for inspection report
Dear all,
I have a requirement for printing bar code in the inspection report. Normally, we use QGA3 print inspection report which based on the script form. Now as I would like to add bar code, as I know, I have to use smart form to realize. but it can just enter Form in the standard way. So could anyone give me some useful suggestion to realize this requirement?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Benny.Hi,
Identify corresponding form.In the character format we have to define the bar code and assign that one infornt of which we need the bar code.
eg:
SE71 screen if you go the character
there below you will get the bar code
specify one character for that bar code and
in place of which u want to print place it.
for eg u have character specified as bb,
and in place of Inspection lot (w_lot) you want to have bar code
the just type.
<bb>w_lot</>, this will print the bar code for instead of inspection lot

Cobol Code to Oracle Report Generation

Please!!!!They are completely different languages and technologies. Cobol deals with flat files of data processed in sort of scanning/looping/reading back and forth ways (God how I hated Cobol!). As unrepentant old cobol programmer (though I haven't written a line of cobol in several years) I take umbrage at that. (Yes, being an unrepentant cobol programmer means I'm also a curmudgeon). Cobol is far more capable than simply looping through "read a record, write a record. It deals with far more than just flat files. It can quite easily access any dbms that supplies a pre-compiler - like, oh, say, Oracle's Pro*Cobol. Micro Focus (I believe they are now called Merant) produced a full line of cobol products for the PC. And all of it, the basic compiler, the integrated development environment (editor, source-code level debugger, gui,) emulation of mainframe CICS, IMS, and DB2 were all themselves written *in cobol*.
There was never a technical reason for moving away from cobol. It was simply fueled by a generation of developers who though computing began with the Apple II and set out to have to discover (and then re-invent solutions for) problems that cobol programmers and the mainframe had solved years earlier. And PHB's who practiced "Management by Magazine Article" and got their technical advice from American Airlines Magazine.
I've always maintained that people who hate cobol never really knew cobol.
Oracle deals with relational indexed tables using SQL.
Take your business requirements for what the report should be generating and write the report from scratch in Oracle. That way you'll make the most of Oracles technology. -
I am getting the folowing error mreeage:
Terminated with error: <br>REP-1401: 'cf_1formula': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred. ORA-39565: Message 39565 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA
Here is my configuration detials:
set the classpath in server configuration file to where the oraclebarcode.jar file is located.
set the classpath in the default.env file to point to same jar file.
I included all that are required in the report(before report trigger, formula column,etc)
Does this error have anything to do with the temporary file creation for the barcode image as it is created from the browser (java security issue)?
Please assist.
thanks.I had the same problem.
I finally fix it now.
using 10g on linux web
When I run the report I have message:
Terminated with error: REP-108: File 'REGIST_NAME_1' not found.
I think it is because the file is create with
srw.create_temporary_filename
But I beleive my 10gAS is not set to read in the folder
Where is this folder where the SRW function create the file ??
How can I use SRW.create_temporary_filename in web. -
Hello.
I am creating a PDF report using the Oracle Reports 6i running on Oracle Concurrent Manager.
The PDF report has a bar code.
The report finish with success but it is visualized without the bar code.
Into the output report the bar code name is small font (mw6code39mt) always.
I can visualize the output report when I manually alter the bar code name from small font to large font (MW6 Code39MT) only. I do it in my Unix server using the text editor.
The bar code name installed in my PC is large font (MW6 Code39MT)
I am experiencing problem when visualizing or printing the output report.
Has somebody experience about it or some idea about how can I to configure the Unix server or Oracle to solve the problem?
Thank you.
EdsonHi Julie,
Sorry my english.
I will try to explain in more details the problem.
I have identified that the bar code name into the PDF output is lowercase (mw6code39mt).
I only visualize or print the PDF output with the bar code when I manually alter that bar code name from lowercase to uppercase (MW6Code39MT).
I do that in my Unix server using the vi editor.
Please, see what I need to alter in the PDF output file on Unix server:
<</Type /Font
/Name /F1
/Subtype /Type1
/Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding
/BaseFont /mw6code39mt ====> alter to MW6Code39MT
/FirstChar 24
/LastChar 255
/Widths 9 0 R
/FontDescriptor 10 0 R
>>
endobj
Thank you.
