Help on barcode

hi experts,
i am new to barcode printing,can any1 tell me steps involved in using barcodes in smartforms.
where do we exactly start from in barcode printing

Hi Amit,
To print Barcode,follow the steps below:
select/create a barcode in SAP using Transaction SE73.
Create a character format and include barcode with it.
The data need to printed as barcode should be attributed via the character format.
for example,
/ <BC>&VBAK-WERKS&</>.
i think it will useful for you.

Need help with barcodes

Can you please help me with the solution for bar codes in xml publisher?
If possible step by step.
The demo "bill of lading" is broken in the following page.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/publishing/index.html
Thanks in advance

First thing you have to do is get a barcode font.
After installing the font on our Windows PC, we used it in the RTF template for one of our fields.
The tricky part was the backend configuration. You have to place the font file on the server, we placed it in $AF_JRE_TOP/jre/fonts and then updated the XML Publisher Configuration file ($AF_JRE_TOP/jre/lib/xdo.cfg) to associate the font in the RTF template with the font file located on the filesystem. Our entry in xdo.cfg looks like:
<font family="xxxxx" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="/disk1/oraapps/vis1comn/util/java/1.4/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/lib/fonts/3OF9.ttf" />
</font>
Where:
"xxxxx" = Name of font as chosen in MS Word

Help with Barcodes!!!!

Hello everyone!
I'm having problems to print a barcode from a sapscript, I choose a barcode from the transaction se73, I choosed "BARCLVS" and "C128A_00", and both did not work, I also create one with the option "New barcode technology" and the other with "old system barcode", and both did not work too.
I assigned it to the form and I create a character format <BC> with the barcode I create, but it did not work, 'cause when I print it, in the print preview appears the barcode, but in the label doesn't appear.
So please if anybody can tell me what's wrong with my process, also I'm using a Zebra Printer and the basis named it ACZE in windows but in SAP it is named LB_ZEB the same printer.
Please Help Me!!!!!
Thanks for your time.

First, to print a barcode using SAPscript you have to
implement a software solution or a hardware solution.
In my case, we have a DIMM card installed in all of our printers which need to print barcodes. I've heard that there is a software solution as well.
You mentioned that you are using a zebra printer. In this case, you don't need to do anything special. Nor do you need to embed a barcode in your sapscript. Are you using the ZPLII language in your sapscript? This is how you define the layout of your label for zebra printers. All you do, is have a MAIN window in your sapscript form and then have all of the ZPLII printer code inside the window. The CODE defines the label. The CODE defines the barcode.
Here is a sample of our ZPLII code. The code that does
the barcode is in BOLD.

Placing barcode on report

Question 1
===========
I have a simple records as follow:
Customer Amount Account_no
John Walsh 1500 123456
Mary Joe 700 985000
Lisa Black 2510 456000
Kim Blackson 980 254100
I would like in the report to ruen the account no column
into barcode number. I am using (report builder 3) developer/2000
Question 2
===========
I choose the form letter style report.
I placed the columns on the form. However, how do I format
a number column to have comma? For example, I want
1200 to be formated like 1,200
thanks for your assistance

To print barcode you have to install a barcode font on your machine.
Create a query like:
select customer, amount,account_no
from customers;
You should then create a field for account_no and define the barcode font as the font for this field.
See the help on barcode in Developer 2000.
To format a number, use the "format mask" property of the field. E.g. NNN,NN0.NN

Decode 2D barcode using Java 6

Hi,
I need help with barcode decompression. Im using "Paper Forms Barcode" (QR Code type) and using option "Compress data before encoding". I need decompress data by Java program so im using default Java Inflater class. I have read many tutorials and examples about inflating by Java and my program is almost the same. So im above there is no problem in Java program.
My problem: when i read and decompress data, they are corupted around the middle of XML document. It means when document start, everything is ok, but around 200-300 chars after, document is corupted - some chars are.
May be I will have to use alternative Inflater implementation or some other way. I think problem is with default Java algorithm which is not almost the same as Adobe PDF algorithm.
Do you know some working examples? Thanks a lot.

Finally I solved the problem!!!
It was about barcode reader device. I have used Xenon 1900. When i switch to another device as Datalogic Gryphon 432, everything is OK.

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.

Hi,
Check if following is helpful:-
Sap Barcode :
Details 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.
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.
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.
Barcode Standard
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

ASN(Advanced Shipping Notification) & EDN(Electronic Delivery Note)

Hi All,
Could some one please share me some info on ASN and EDN please?
I'm quite new to this area. Our customers are expecting ASN's and EDN's after sending the ORDERS data from EDI.we are using seeburger as 3rd party.
I believe we can import some idoc's related to this ASN and EDN from ERP and send it to the customers, is this an appropriate approach?
Could some one please explain me the process or any step by step guides will help.
Thanks in advance.
Smith

Hi Smith,
I have very basic information about ASN & EDN
ASN
An Advanced Shipment Notice (ASN) is an EDI formatted electronic notification of pending deliveries; an electronic packing list. The goal of the ASN is to provide information to the destination's receiving operations well in advance of delivery.
An ASN can provide a list of all of the barcoded ID numbers of the shipping units and the contents of each. The time required to receive the load, then, is greatly reduced.
EDN
The goal of the EDN is to provide the delivery note to the vendors as completion of receiving operations as per the scheduled delivery. In EDN the validation is possible with the help of barcoded ID numbers provided as per the ASN.
Probably below link will provide you more detail information about it

Help with scripting a period in barcode between fields.

Good Morning,
I need help scripting a barcode that has a period as a separator in between fields.
I have 3 fields that I need all encoded in to one barcode and need a period as separators.
EMPID
FormName
EMPSSN
I need barcode to read as follows
EMPID.FormName.EMPSSN
546514.Harvest123.555284569
I am very new to this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you go to the Barcode's Value tab and select "Custom calculation script", you get an empty template of how the barcode's value is calculated, which you can then fill-in with the names of the form fields. You can also edit the separator used between the values. I'm not sure the result is a valid barcode, strictly speaking, but it works. Here's the code I used:
/* Customize: */
function bMemberOf(strName, aStrNames)
    for (var nMembIdx in aStrNames)
        if (strName == aStrNames[nMembIdx])
            return true;
    return false;
function strTabDelimited(oParam)
    var bNeedTab = false;
    var strNames = "";
    var strValues = "";
    for (var i = 0; i < oParam.oDoc.numFields; ++i)
        var strFieldName = oParam.oDoc.getNthFieldName(i);
        if ((null == oParam.aFields || bMemberOf(strFieldName, oParam.aFields))
            && (null == oParam.strXclField || strFieldName != oParam.strXclField)
            && (oParam.oDoc.getField(strFieldName).type != "button"))
            if (bNeedTab)
                if (oParam.bFieldNames)
                    strNames += "."; // I changed these two lines so the separator is a period instead of the default tab
                strValues += ".";
            if (oParam.bFieldNames)
                strNames += strFieldName;
            strValues += oParam.oDoc.getField(strFieldName).value;
            bNeedTab = true;
    if (oParam.bFieldNames)
        return strNames + "\n" + strValues;
    else
        return strValues;
try
    if ( app.viewerVersion >= ADBE.PMD_Need_Version )
        event.value = strTabDelimited({oDoc: this, aFields: ["EMPID", "FormName", "EMPSSN"], bFieldNames: true});
    else event.value = " ";
catch (e)
    event.value = " ";

Std barcode reader - keyboardevent for stream of chars - help :(

Hi all,
It's the very first time for me in adobe forum so.. hi everyone
I've got a question related to my air application. This application has many controls like textinput button etc. etc.
I would like to catch a barcode (a very fast keyboard stream of chars) in the main application (this isn't a problem I already can do this) and, if it is a barcode then i would like to stop the propagation of the chars otherwise the propagation of the chars continue as usual
In order to catch the stream of chars I've used a timer, restarted every time i retrieve a character, if this timer expire and I have collect more the 5 chars I suppose the chars collected could be a barcode otherwise the chars (if they are less than 5) should be normal character from the user that use a keyboard
the effect is:
first case:
a fast keyboard chars coming (a.. ok this is a barcode)
stops the writing for example in the related textinput that has focus
elaborate the barcode
second case:
a character or two is arrived from the keyboard (ok this isn't a barcode)
continue with propagation and the related textinput show the character
is this possible?
I've tryed it.. but I can't find the solution, could anyone help me?
thank you
edit: if it isn't clear, please let me know, I can try to explain the problem in a better way

Barcode / font help

I am using barcodes on a work-order report. We installed demo fonts from ID Automation. I had it working on my client side via preview PDF. When trying on the server side, I am now getting error in the OPP log, as follows:
java.lang.NullPointerException

My report uses one of the ID Automation fonts for the barcodes and Arial for text.
According to Tim's blog...
12. Navigate to Configuration General-> FO Processing->Font Mapping Set.
Can also be done at data def and template level under Edit Configuration.
Hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
I am wondering if every font I use in my RTF needs to be defined in the new font mapping set we set up, including Arial or any other fonts? When I view my RTF in notepad, it shows a whole bunch of other fonts, even though I am not using them in my document.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul

Hi Paul,
We have successfully registered Barcode fonts with the template. For this you need to first add the font file using XML Publisher -> Administrator. Here u need to upload the font file and also set the font name same as the name you have displayed when you open the template on Word.
After registering the font thru Admin, create a font mapping set / font mapping and assign the same to the template. The font should be assigned in configuration -> FO Processing -> Font Mapping.
Hope this helps.
