Generate bar codes in mail forms

Hi,
I know how to insert Bar codes in smartforms, but I need to print the bar codes in Mail Forms, is that possible?
Thanks a lot,
Nuno Moreira

Hi Gregor,
What I need to do is:
I have several mail forms treated as a standard response in ICWC. We are using the e-mail view (in ICWC) mainly to print the forms, via smartforms or in online mode without smartforms.
So, at the moment, I have two questions:
1) If I use a smartform to print the mail form, even if I create the form in plain text and create the bar code into mail form, when I print the number it is not converted in a bar code;
2) If I generate the bar code in a mail form and I try to print it in ICWC e-mail view the number is not printed as a bar code too;
Thanks a lot for your help and interest,
Best Regards,
Nuno

How to print BAR code in SMART Form

Hi All,
I have the requirement to print BAR CODE in Smartforms.
For this, I create a character format with Bar code in style forms and create a text element in Smart form and associate bar code character format with this text element.
Now when I look the print preview for the data, then it shows me data in bar code format but not in right format i.e. its shows me all the similar block in bar code.
If you look the bar code in SAP script, its always show you bar code with similar block, but in SMART FORM it will show you exact bar code; as in SAP Script, bar code is generated at printer end and in SMARTFORM bar code is generated as graphic in SAP and then sent to printer for print.
PLease let me know, why in SMARTFORM its not showing BAR CODE in correct format in print preview.
Thanks

Hi,
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.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

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.

Generating Bar-code with barcode no.

Hi Experts,
          my requirement is to generate bar-code for data from certain fields like material no,batch no, expiry date etc. Well i am
          able to generate the bar-code with the help of smart style but i am not getting any no below the generated bar-code as
          bar-code no. As i have come across that there are basically 2 types of bar-code no. 1) UPC   and   2) EAN
          Please help me in generation of bar-code with its no below (either in UPC   or   EAN ) type.
Thanks.
Praveen Kumar.

Hi, Praveen,
I am more a barcode expart than SAP expert. Here is a link to an article that may be helpful:
[Printing barcodes from SAP|http://www.makebarcode.com/info/appnote/app_024.html]
You mentioned using UPC-A or EAN-13. I recommend that you do not use these symbologies for general-purpose fields like material no,batch no, expiry date etc. Both of these codes are fixed length, numeric only. It will be much better if you use a variable-length, alpha-numeric symbol like Code 39 or Code 128. Code 39 is the easiest to work with; Code 128 requires a little more work to set up your software, but it supports a wider range of characters (lower case, symbols, etc.).
Here is a link to a barcode comparison chart. From there you can find details about these codes.

Print Bar code in Smart form

Hi,
Can you pls tell me how to print bar code in smart form?

Hi,
You create a bar code or change a bar code in the font maintenance transaction (transaction SE73). To do this, proceed as follows:
○ Start transaction SE73, and choose System Bar Codes ® Change.
○ If you create a bar code, the system asks whether you want to use the new bar code technology or traditional system bar codes. Choose New.
You can enter a name and a description for the bar code. Note that the name must begin with a Zto avoid conflict between your bar codes and the standard bar codes.
2. If you have created a new bar code, you must now add this to a Smart Style as a character format. For information about this, see the section Maintenance of Styles with the Style Builder and its subsections in the Smart Forms documentation.
If you have only changed the bar code, continue with the next step.
3. You can now select text in Smart Forms and choose the corresponding style with the bar code as the character format for this text.
4. You can then print the bar code.

Generate bar codes in smartforms

Hi,
I wonder to know how can I add bar codes to a smartform. Bar codes should be generated in a automatic sequence and its number should be printed too.
Thanks a lot,
Nuno Moreira

Hi Gregor,
Let me try to explain better.
1. I'm using the bar code in smartforms and I'm able to generate the bar code graphic. But I want to print the bar code graphic and the bar code number, so what I was asking is if there is some way to associate automatically the number with bar code graphic, instead of write the number again with a regular font format, because like this is very difficult to format properlly the graphic with the associated number.
2. What I want to do is, print daily several letters identified with a bar code, so it'll be nice if the system could generate a automatic sequence of number to convert in bar code graphics.
I hope you could understand my doubts.
Thanks again,
Nuno Moreira

Smeared bar code in Mail

I just received a reservation confirmation from Delta Airlines that contained a bar code. The problem is that the bar code is smeared horizontally i.e. each bar is a smear not a vertical line, across the email making the email very wide and very unprintable. I switched to Boot Camp and retrieved the message in Outlook Express. It looked and printed just fine there. I searched for bar code in the forum and didn't see anything relevant. Anyone seen anything like this? And if so is there a fix?
Thanks
Paul

I experienced the same thing yesterday with two Delta reservations. It appears to be a problem with Mail 3.1 since I experienced problem viewing the messages from two different Macs running OS 10.5.1. When I went to stored reservations received prior to upgrading to OS 10.5, the barcode displays correctly. Not sure what is going on.

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,

Bar codes in Smart Forms

Hello,
Maybe anyone could provide short guidance how to create SmartForm for fixed assets barcode labeling?

hi,
You need to use a SMARTSTYLE and create a CHAR format and create a BAR Code there and use it in the Smartform.
If you need more info, goto Transaction : SMARTSYLES, do an F4 and in the text area, look for Bar Codes. And see how these Styles are used in the Smartforms.
If somehow you can't preview it properly and the printout didn't show any barcode at all..
First try to use Standard Barcodes like TYPNR or RSNUM etc in the charcter format...
You can preview the output at any moment IF YOU USE THE CORRECT BARCODE FORMAT.
But printer should support barcode printing for taking printout. Otherwise in printout it will print junk values...
If you want to print bar codes from R/3 using device type HPLJ4, HPLJ5, HPLJ5SI or HPLJ4000 on HP LaserJet 4, 5, 6 or 4000 series printers, you need what is known as a SIMM module (IC card). This SIMM module is called "JetCAPS Intelligent Barcode SIMM" and can be obtained for most HP LaserJet 4, 5, 6 and Laser Jet 4000 printers. For more detailed information regarding barcode printers refer to Notes 5196, 121305, 119471
Hope this helps.

Error with EURO-character in pdf417 bar code with adobe forms

Hi,
we have a problem with the Euro-Sign (u20AC) in the bar code type pdf417. The encoding is set to "ISO-8859-15", but after creating the barcode and scan this, instead of the u20AC-character the ?-character appears. Is this a bug in the encoding-routine? Or have we to set some special parameters?
Can anybody help?
Thanks!

Hi,
thanks for your reply, unfortunately the oss note doesn't solve the problem.
We print the barcode on a A5 formular with a HP Laserjet printer series.
