How to create barcode in CR2008?

According to following introduction of CR2008, it support barcode.
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/crystalreports/featuresfunctions/index.epx
Built-in barcode support u2013 Save design time and reduce your cost. Generate barcodes with only a few clicks of the mouse by using the new 'turn to barcode' function in the context menu. Easily convert fields to Code39 barcodes without any coding or extra steps. And benefit from additional barcode fonts available from third-party vendors.
But I don't know how to create a Code39 barcode in CR2008.
I cannot find any button or menu related with barcode creation.

Hi
Is this issue from CR designer? If so, please post to the Report Design [forum|SAP Crystal Reports;
Note: that if the issue exists in the CR designer, the issue will exist at runtime also and needs to be resolved in the designer 1st.
Sincerely,
Amit

  • 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
    Viktoria

    Hi 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

  • How to create barcode EAN13 in smartforms?

    I want to create EAN13 in smartforms,but in smartforms the EAN13  preview incorrect .
    My step is :
    1.SPAD, create Device types:ZSWIN (Copied from SWIN).
    2.SPAD, create Output Devices ZEAN,Device type is:ZSWIN,Aeecss Method:G,Host Printer:__default
    3.SE73,created ZEAN13 by old Bar Code Technology,Bar code Type :EAN13 (UNDEF also try too)
    4.SE73,in print Bar Codes ,select  ZSWIN device type,add Bar code:ZEAN13, prefix is SBP13,suffix is:SBS01. the SBP13 and SBS01 are in  system default  for EAN13 print Control.
    5. SMARTFORMS,create style ZBAR,create Character Formats C1 used bar code:ZEAN13,also create C2 used bar code:BC_EAN13.
    6. SMARTFORMS,create test form :ZTEST,create tow texts,one used the font C1,the other is C2.
    Now test run,click Prievew,Select output device:LOCL or ZEAN,the text by font ZEAN13 and BC_EAN13 are also incorrect.
    The barcode can not with the text to change.
    Above is my step.
    Please help me to check which step have problem.
    Thanks
    Sun.

    Hi ,
    While creating new system barcode form existing barcode, system will ask for create with new technology or create with old technology, in that case you have to select new technology and specify barcode terminology as EAN13. then specify other parameters like modular height and width as per your requirement.
    first define style for smartform and then use this system barcode in character format. Again by using this character format, you can able to print element whatever you want in smartform.
    Also before printing this newly developed barcode,please confirm with basis that you use correct printer which is already barcode configured.
    Hope this works for you.........
    Thanks..........

  • How to create a new BARCODE PREFIX   (for SAPScripts)

    In SE73 transaction, we can create a NEW printer barcode. For this we require 'barcode prefix' .There are some SAP standard barcode prefixes(for eg.SBP01)...but I want to create a new barcode prefix..
    Please let know how to create a new BARCODE PREFIX.
    SE73->Printer barcodes (radiobutton)->change->select one dev.type (dbl click)->create.
    here we get a popup for the creation ..asking for BARCODE PREFIX which should be existing in TFO05 table...

    Hi ,
    Please follow following process
    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
    Hope this helps

  • How to create a barcode in scripts and smartforms

    hi
    how to create a barcode in scripts and smartforms

    Hi,
    For Script:
    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.

  • How to create a barcode of type UCC/EAN 128 symbology ?

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to generate a label on Zebra printer using smartforms.
    The label contains a barcode of type UCC/EAN 128 type and others.
    I am creating the barcodes at se73 transaction to use in smartforms but I could not find an equivalent barcode for UCC/EAN 128 type.
    Please let me know if anyone has worked on this type of requirement earlier and how to create a barcode of type UCC/EAN 128 in SAP.
    Thank You,

    When i sending by e-mail the customer ...What do you send? Don't think they need the font if pdf files are sent. If they run your report, that's a different story.

  • How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

    I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
    Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
    I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
    The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
    If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
    The report has no tables.
    So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
    I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
    internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
          public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
             : base(reportFileName)
    public override void Process()
             DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
             Table table = new Table();
             string tabelName = "Table140";
             table.Name = tabelName;
             table.Alias = tabelName;
             table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
             table.Description = tabelName;
             var fields = new Fields();
             var dbField = new DBField();
             var fieldName = "ID";
             dbField.Description = fieldName;
             dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
             dbField.Name = fieldName;
             dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
             fields.Add(dbField);
             dbField = new DBField();
             fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
             dbField.Description = fieldName;
             dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
             dbField.Name = fieldName;
             dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
             fields.Add(dbField);
             // More code for more tables to add.
             table.DataFields = fields;
             //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
             //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
             //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
             //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
             // Here an error occurs.
             databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
             ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
             //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
             //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
    The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
       internal abstract class Worker
          private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
          private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
          private string _ReportFileName;
          public Worker(string reportFileName)
             _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
             _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
             // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
             _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
             // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
             _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
          public string ReportFileName
             get
                return _ReportFileName;
          public ReportDocument ReportDoc
             get
                return _ReportDoc;
          public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
             get
                return _ClientDoc;
    But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
    What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

    then you need your own printprogram and everything is fine. with open_form ;  start_form ; write_form;  end_form
    you can communicate direct with the Datamax Programming Language  from SAPScript to the Barcode printer.
    i also have the datamax programmers manual as pdf if you want i could send it to you. let me know by PM.
    also have look into HW 490295  the bartender Solution works fine for me to create the SO10 text's

    thanks

    If you have already decided which device type you want to tie your bar code then you can ignore point# 1 and proceed with point#2.
    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 <XXXX> -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Go to se73 --> select printer Bar code radio button --> click change --> double click on the device type <XXXX>
         Click create button on tool bar ( prceed by populating all options in the pop-up)
    Close the thread once your question is answered.

  • How to create the Paragraph styles in Smart Forms

    Dear Techie's,
    Please let me know, How to create the own Paragraph styles in Smart Forms i.e to make the line or a particular font in BOLD.
    Please put the light ASAP.
    Regards,
    Maddu.

    hi
    good
    You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
    This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form. 
    The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes.

  • How to generate Barcode for Storage Bins

    Hi,
    How to generate Barcode for the all the newly created storage bins in order to get scanned with the RF devices.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hello Jacob,
    We generate our barcodes with the help of the PPF action. For example, our labels have the barcodes onto them and when we finish a task that requires packing/unpacking/deconsolidation we have the PPF trigger the printing of the neccesary labels.
    I direct you to the path SCM SPRO - Supply Network Collaboration - Tools - Actions (Post Processing Framework). Here you need to set the action and namely the trigger.
    All the best,

  • How to create Bar code

    Hi,
    How to create Bar code?
        Explain the steps.

    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.
    - 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.
    <b>To Create a Bar code Prefix</b>
    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

  • How to generate barcode name in scripts

    hi,
       how to generate barcode name in scripts.what is the procedure tell me brief with example.what is the use of barcodes

    Hi,
    You have to use spacila BARCODE printers for that.
    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.
