Barcode in smart from
Hi Gurus.
Can anybody plz tell me how to print bar code in smartform, actually my requirement is to print postal barcode in smartfrom.
plz reply.

Hi,
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.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.

How to print 4 copies of smart from in a single print
Dear All,
i have one smartform. i have attached my smart form to an output type. if i am printing through that output type, it has to print 4 copies of smartform. Hoe to do this?
i have 6 windows in my smart from in different different place. i have used main window for my table data inthe middle of the smart from.
How can i print 4 copies of smart from in a single print ?
Thanks In advance.Hi Vishnu,
I hope you have used a print program which will be triggered from the output type. In your print program where you are calling your smartform, just include that piece of code inside DO 4 times.
........... Write the code here to call your smartform.
ENDDO.
I hope by doing this you will be able to achieve your requirement.

Dynamic Insertion of graphics in Smart from
Hi guys,
I want to insert a dynamic graphic image from the presentation server into smart from its possible?
Reg,
HriharanHi Mohd,
here's how to do it.
I presume you have alredy done charting in general with the cl_gui_chart_engine. You need the data and the customizing XML strings of that chart to print it out.
Follow this coding:
DATA: l_igs_viewer TYPE REF TO cl_igs_chart_engine,
i_igs_image_converter TYPE REF TO cl_igs_image_converter.
* Generate an Internet Graphics Server Chart Engine
CREATE OBJECT l_igs_viewer

* IGS gets data and customizing
CALL METHOD l_igs_viewer->set_data( data_doc = l_ixml_doc ).
CALL METHOD l_igs_viewer->set_customizing(
custom_doc = l_ixml_custom_doc ).
* and now renders the chart.
CALL METHOD l_igs_viewer->execute
EXCEPTIONS
communication_error = 1
internal_error = 2
external_error = 3
OTHERS = 4.
* Next step ist to convert the image to an MS-BMP.
DATA:

* Hand the image over
CALL METHOD i_igs_image_converter->set_image

blob = l_image
blob_size = l_image_size
blob_type = l_image_type.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
At this point, we have a BMP-24, and we are ready to save it to the SE78 BDS graphics system.
This is by far the slowest part of the story. Not applicable for mass printing, the conversion of a bitmap can take up to 1 minute!

Your final part will now be to print out the graphic using a SmartForm. The method I showed above, saves the graphics always with the same name, in this case TEMP_CHART0181. So this method is not qualified for concurrent use by multiple users.
Try it out and see how slow this works unfortunately.
I hope SAP will provide a performant way soon to print charts with smartforms better than that above.
One last hint concerning size and resolution of the bitmap. Take a low resolution of say 50 dpi to gain higher performance but lower print quality. I never tried high resolutions of like 300dpi, it just became too slow for me and I qualified that as simply unpracticable.
I hope the coding snippets can help you.

How to create barcode in Smart Forms with MS Word as Editor?
Hi,
I created a character format for a barcode in a smart style.
The problem is that I do not know how to assign it to the text in Smart Form because the Editor is MS Word and not the normal Editor.
Any suggestion or idea.
Thanks & best regards
ViktoriaHi and thanks for the fast reply,
I have created a smartstyle and also a characterformat for the barcode. This is not the problem.
I call the layout via HRFORMS. The Form Builder for Smart Forms is called and the Editor for the text nodes is preset and is the MS Word editor. This cannot be changed. I tried different things also in the settings. The normal text editor cannot be called.
I choose and enter the field that I want to convert into the barcode &wa_barcode&. I do not work with standard texts (SO10). The text field is a normal text node in Smart Forms. The character format that applies converts the number in the variable field into the barcode.
In the MS word editor I have only formats that are in the office environment (arial, ...) I do not see the formats that I created in smartstyle also when I assign it in the output options of the text node.
So maybe I have to work like this for now. Swich between HRFORMS and SMARTFORMS when working with barcodes. In the Smart Forms transaction it is the normal editor where I can see the paragraph/ character formats from smartstyle.
Thanks and best regards

Need Help with SSCC-18 Barcode in Smart Forms...

Using new Smart Forms barcode...
Need to create a SSCC-18 Serial Container Shipping Code format barcode...
It is currently printing OK as a UCC-128 format... but... when it it is read by a scanner... they say it is missing the SSCC-18 "Start code Start A character and Function code 1"... that identify it as an SSCC-18 format...
Suggestions ?
Thank you,
Dave...Issue is resolved...
In the System Bar Code being used...
...changed the Code128 Mode parameter to a 'U' from an 'A'
The scanner now recognizes the bar code as an SSCC-18 format.

Can anyone please help me out with the following issue.
1. I am unable to print the barcode using a zebra barcode printer from SAP. I use C128A format.
2. But this issue doesn't come when I print the same form using a Laser printer. The scanner also detects the same correctly.
3. The same barcode printer prints my earlier forms with the same settings correctly.
May I please know where the issue exactly is?

Assigning of smart from to print Service Order using Tcode IW32
Hi Gurus
i have developed a Z smart form to print shop papers using IW32 how how to assign the Zprint program and Z smartforn to print shop papers using iw32
thanks in advance.
Edited by: jvp111 on Jun 11, 2010 4:20 PMIn config, under Plant Maintenance & Customer Service -> Maintenance & Service Processing -> Maintenance & Service Orders -> Print Control -> Define Shop Papers you can assign you own Shop Paper number , Form Routine, Form name. The SAP standard is a Sapscript but I have used a Smartform. Note that you will have to give a shorter name for your Smartform to fit in the Form section in config.

EAN13 barcodes not printing from viewer
I have designed a Crystal report and have set the printer as the Zebra, and the font as the printer font. While the font display oddly in the designer preview, it prints fine to the Zebra printer.
When importing the report into SAP Business One and running from the viewer, the codes' numeric value displays on screen and that is what prints from the printer. Have tried this on the same machine where the designer is installed and from a different machine.
I am using CR2008, which is the latest which is compatible with the customers SAP install.
A truetype font I have installed does not print at all
Any way to resolve this?Hi Michael,
We purchased one from Azalea in the end. I found a free one which did work, but doesn't conform to GS1 standards - it was not tall enough.
While I now have the Azalea one printing, I haven't yet got it to pass GS1.
This is a nightmare project, something that should be easy has take 3 months and counting!.
Printer fonts won't work from the Crystal Viewer, but will from the designer, that is a known issue. -
Japanese Characters in a smart from
Hi! I'm creating a smart form that needs to be in Japanese and all I get are little boxes as output. I'm using the font JPMINCHO. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
Thank you!Sara,
I believe if you need to CHANGE any Japanese texts - you have to have Locale set to Japan in your windows, you need to have in your windows Japanese fonts, and you need to activate I18N in the OPTIONS for your system (on the first logon screen - press Alt-F12 then choose options, then activate multibyte functions).
To display texts correctly, you need to :
- have Japan fonts installed on your PC (windows, control panel, regional settings)
- activate I18N
- close saplogon, start again - select same icon (the right one on the top) or press Alt-F12 on the logon screen for your system - you'll see Character Set in the menu now, where you can select Japanese).
Hopefully you'll be able to see texts correctly after that without logging in JA language.
