Printer Control Language 5 Sap Script

Hello,
Does anybody have a sample SAP script which gives command to NRG printer. It uses a PCL 5 driver so wanted a sample eg. of the same.
Regards,
SHekhar Kulkarni

Hi Shekhar,
Print commands are controlled by the device type you have set up for your printer. These are administered via the transaction SPAD (for spool administration).
The SAPScript itself does not issue these commands (as far as I'm aware).
You may have to handle special print control from your SAPScript by the use of fonts. Again, these are administered from the transaction SPAD.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Brad

How to print Barcode in te SAP SCRIPTS?

Hi All,
Can anyone of you let me know how to print the Barcode in the SAP SCRIPT? This is the first time I'm working on the Barcode. I've to print many fields data into one barcode. Like PO number, Material Number, Plant, Company code..etc..
Best Regards,
Venkatesh Eddala.

Hello Venkat,
Creating Bar code:
-->From trans 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
--> 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.
SAP Barcodes
-->Barcode solution consists of the following:
barcode printer
barcode reader
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.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d9/4a94c851ea11d189570000e829fbbd/content.htm
for smart, please check the below link:
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/questions-about-bar-code-printing-in-sap.htm
See the below program forbarcode in sapscript for your reference:
DATA: BAR_CODE1(16) VALUE `ABC01230123A01'
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON IMMEDIATELY `X'.
FORMAT COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF.
If the barcode is the first element on the page, the following Write
statement is needed (otherwise you get a date in the first print
control.
WRITE:/
Turn on the barcode font, print the data, and switch back to the
printer's default font. Be sure to use NO-GAP to avoid unwanted
characters or CR/LF.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION `BCPFX'
WRITE: BAR_CODE1 NO-GAP
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION `BCSFX'
Add a Write statement to prevent insertion of CR/LF into the barcode.
WRITE:/
Sample SAPSCRIPT
Variable BAR_CODE1 contains the barcode data, including asterisks.
The & is needed to avoid unwanted spaces or CR/LF characters
/E LINE
/: PRINT-CONTROL BCPFX
= &BAR_CODE1&
/: PRINT-CONTROL BCSFX

Why a " # " is coming while printing chinese characters from SAP script?

Hi All,
Facing one issue.
We have a SAP script for printing delivery note thru T-code VL03N. The script has chinese characters in it.
When I print this form the chinese characters that are hardcoded in the script can be seen in the print out but the ones which are coming from the table cannot be seen instead they are repalced by " # ".
Strangely, when a debug the script or see a print preview on the screen they can be seen as it is with no problem.
Only when I print it, on the paper print they are seen as # but the characters that are hardcoded in the script can be seen clearly on paper.
Secondly, in Transaction FB03 which is for display of list of documents it too has some chinese characters and when I print this directly from the t-code doing Shift-F1 ( no SAP script or form is involved in this case) then the same case is there the chinese characters get replaced by a " # ".
Any inputs or views are welcome.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
Cordially,
Saurabh.

How to print the Totals in SAP Scripts..?

Hi,
I have an SAP Script layout. Currently I am displaying the Line items in the layout. The new requirement has come up to display the TOTAL of the amount value in the layout at the end of the line items. Can someone tell me how to display the Sum of the Amount value at the end of the Line items in an SAP Script.
The Print program for this layout is standard program. Can this be handled within the layout..? Someone please provide me some sample code if available.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Paddu.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
My Standard print program doesn't provide the total value. Could you please tell me where exactly we need to write the logic in the Layout. I mean, do we need to write under separate element..? and in the External subroutine, how would be the logic. It would be greatful if you provide some sample code.
Thanks & Regards,
Paddu.

Hi,
Firstly, use the unicode MS Word editor as the sapscript editor. Then you need a devcie type that supports these characters. Try to print via windows and unicode device type SWINCF if you have a unicode system.

Printing LAST page in SAP script on the back side.

Hi ,
I have a problem with the printing of the LAST page on the reverse side of the form, when done with a vendor.
At a time we print many vendors together.
So, when done with printing of a vendor it needs to print his address on last page, reverse side(address)
Next will be followed by another vendor details.
I cannot give 'D' for the first page because it would fail if the form flows more than 2 pages.
is there any way of triggering the LAST page in SAP Script when it done with printing of one vendor.
any help would be highly appreciated.
regards.

Hi ,
In Script PO i have to print 'Terms and Conditions' text only on the back side of last page of the PO.
Presently script contains THREE pages ( FIRST, NEXT, TERMS).
FIRST with attributes :
next page as NEXT , Print mode T.
NEXT with attributes :
next page as NEXT and print mode T
TERMS with attributes :
next page as ' '.
I Created 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window.For TERMS page i selected 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window only.
So page window of 'TERMS' is 'TERMS AND CONDITION' and i included standard text in 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window.
If PO contains 9 pages( that means MAIN WINDOW data flows up to 9th page with footer also ).
So i have to print standard text(Terms and conditions) back side of 9th page only not on all pages.
So total PO contians 9 pages with 10 prints.
Please help to solve the issue
Thanks and Regards

Unable to print special character in SAP script

Hello,
Is your SAP Unicode? If no, then this can get very messy. If yes, I'd start with checking if the font used by the SAPScript supports that character.

More than one print program for one sap script

Hi Experts,
I have more than one print program which is attached to one sap script. There is standard text used in the script which has variable as date, i want that date to be converted into the previous date but only for one specific print program. For rest of the print program it should behave as it is.
I have tried it using ( s_date - 1 ) formula and it is working fine. But the variable s_date is used in other parts of the program which is affecting rest of the functionality when i am using above said formula. I can't use other variable in standard text as it is used by other programs.
Please guide me to resolve this, thanks in advance.

Well, I'm not sure if I understand the scenario 100%, but I think what you have is a standard text (that you cannot change) referring to variable &S_DATE&. You want this to display the previous day's date when the form is used by one print program but not when it's called by another.
Also, you don't want to change S_DATE to S_DATE - 1 for the whole printout, because apart from the text display, S_DATE is used elsewhere and you want to keep the date as S_DATE, not the previous day.
I assume that you can change the coding of the form.
If all of the above is correct, then you could change the value for S_DATE in the form to the previous day just before it calls the standard text and change it back after the output of the text is done. So right befor the INCLUDE for the standard text, you could use an IF statement in the form logic, query the value of SY-REPID (or SY-CPROG). You'll have to test which one shows the print program name. Depending on that, you can do S_DATE = S_DATE - 1 and after the INCLUDE, do the same thing and change it back to S_DATE = S_DATE + 1.
But honestly, this is a pretty shady programming technique... I mean, hard coding references to the print program name in the form logic is certainly not a very clean method
