Barcoding In Scripts.

Hi Experts,
I want to create Barcode in Script.
can any one explain how to create Barcodes in Scripts.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana

hi
first of all for including a barcode you need to create a character format for it.
in the character format we hav to use the barcode which we want.
then we have to create the window for the barcode, inside it we have to include the code
<name of the charachter format>..................</>
for eg.
if BC is the name of the character format then we have to write,
<BC>123456675436546546797979443434987976432131</>
you can specify any number of charchters inbetween
<BC>......</>.
hope this was helpful.....
reward if useful......
regards
uday.

How can i display barcodes in scripts

hi
experts can u help me for this

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.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.

To create barcode go to transaction se73 Then System Bar codes.
There are some barcodes already present.
If they solve your purpose,use them otherwise create new ones.
The main characteristics of barcodes are
1) Min. Char
2)Max Char
3)Width
4)Height
Now in your sapscript create a character format.
There you can see an option to select barcode.
From there select the appropriate type.
Now use this character format for the field you want to display the barcode.

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 do it ...
- Go to SE71.
- Create a new character format.
- Press the standard button.
There you will find a bar code input field ... Choose the appropriate Bar code ...
Then use the character format to display the data in bar code ...

Printing custom barcode from script

Hi Friends,
Need help.
I have created a barcode from SE73. I used it in a layout . I want to print it from Script ( With driver program) . I am getting print preview . But when I give print barcode is not coming. But the same barcode I used it in SMARTFORM. from this I am able to get preview and print. How to solve this. Please help me.

Hi,
If you are using zebra printer for Barcode printing then,
1. for scripts you will have to write barcodes in postscript format (manual coding format).
2. smartforms are higher version and are integrated with zebra printer. So there should not be any problem in converting the barcode character format and printing it.
If you are using laser printer (normal printer)
1. barcodes through character formats in scripts will not work.
2. will work with smart forms.
What is meant by manual coding???? pls help me.

How to generate barcode in coldfusion 10?

Hi!
Can someone teach or refer to any link to generate barcode in coldfusion 10?
I did try in cf8 and it works but not in cf10. Please help

Hi, we use jQuery. It's very low overhead. Search for jquery-barcode online.
The code is very simple, for example this code (call it index.cfm) generates a barcode from a parameter passed to the page (URL.code) e.g. index.cfm?code=12345
<cfparam name="URL.code" default="12345">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-barcode/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-barcode/jquery-barcode.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function bc() {
$('#bcTarget').barcode('<cfoutput>#Trim(URL.code)#</cfoutput>', 'code128', {barHeight:50, barWidth:1, showHRI:true, fontSize: 11});
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="bc();">
<div id="bcTarget" style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"></div>
</body>
</html>
Using client-side code takes the pressure off the server a bit. There are CF barcode generators too, but they invariably end up using third party things like ActiveX and/or JavaScript, so jQuery-barcode is worth a look.

Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
