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.

Not able to create a java class included in custom jar from script

Hi,
We need to call a third-party web service from within SAP Sourcing and so we have created and deployed a custom JAR. However I am not able to create any of the custom classes included in this object. I have created a simple JAR file having just a "Hello World" message and got our BASIS team to deploy this (they deployed using the steps mentioned in Installation Guide Section 4.2.4 - we are using Sourcing Wave 9). I have added the required import statement in my test script and included this line:
HelloWorld test = new HelloWorld();
When this script executes, it gives the error:
Class:HelloWorld not found in namespace.
Can you please give your suggestions on how to fix this error?
Thanks,
Gayathri

The issue was fixed after including the custom jar in esourcing90/lib folder and redeploying

Print a barcode from JSP

Hi, i need to print a string . The string I want to print represents a barcode... so I don't need to print a page with a string, but a string that is red by the printer's driver as a barcode.
Help me, please.

I believe you need a special kind of barcode font to do that. Maybe this can help you:

Printing custom labels from contacts

How do you print labels with a different header than just the persons name? I would like to address holiday labels to read:
"The Smith Family"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Rather than the contact name only:
"Jane Smith"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Can I create a field that allows me to put it as the address header rather than having to use the contacts first and last name only?

Hi gordonprop,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to change the name field on a label. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Address Book: Printing mailing labels or envelopes with multiple names - Apple Support
you can modify the First name field of the card
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HI
GOOD
GO THROUGH THIS
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.

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.

Print html file with barcode from abap report

hi
i am printing html file from abap program using gui_execute.
i am using netscape.exe , its printing first time and when reprint its not working
basically html file contains gif file which has fedex barcode.
could you please let me know how to print html file from report

where to check RAW or TEXT? the print report vi only asks for file name and printer name.
When I print from notepad, everything just goes by default. This is a label printer, so I never need to specify printing parameter such as size, orientation, etc in the past
Famous last words go something like this: "...never had to do that before." Maybe you have to do that now. It's worth at least comparing the defaults settings for bothe generic drivers. It could save you a lot of headache if you notice something different.

How to print a Barcode VERTICALLY in a SAP Script ?

Dear Experts..
I have to print a Barcode <b>vertically</b> in a SAP Script.
Could you please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

Hey SR,
follow these steps :
Bar code in Smartform :
General definition of Bar code:
Bar codes are standardized characters of a symbol made up of a group of lines and spaces that can be recognized by an optical scanner. Bar codes uniquely identify article data, production numbers or transport units, for example. They can also contain additional information such as batch number, expiration date or weight.
Example
In the Logistics Execution System (LES), certain field entries can be represented by bar codes and printed on the transfer documents. This simplifies certain data entry processes such as order confirmation.
Type of bar code:
Bar codes are based on a binary principle and consist of a series of stripes/gaps of different widths. The sequence of the stripes or gaps results in an (alpha) numeric statement. Bar codes are read optically. Due to varying requirements, bar codes may differ with regard to the following aspects:
     printer tolerance
     decoding tolerance
     character width
     automatic check
     number of characters
Steps to implement bar code in the smartform:
     Use the transaction code smartstyle. Give a suitable name .Choose create.
     In change mode of the Smart Style select the Character formats node and choose Create.
     In the Character format field enter a two-character character key.
     Select the desired attributes of the Bar Code on the tab Standard Settings.
     Choose Activate.
     Assign the character format to the field or character string in the smartform.
     Activate the smartform.
     Test the same.

Kunal.

Problem with barcode print in Adobe From

Hello All,
We are using Adobe Forms to print our shipping labels and this as been working well for few years now. These labels include readable text and barcodes. The barcodes are 1-D but recently we now have a need to print 2-D barcodes.
We are able to print PDF-417 as a 2-D barcode on the form, but when we try to print Datamatrix barcode, the barcode does not show and instead we just see the text which should have been encoded as 2-D barcode.
We analyze the spool output file on the server to check the correct print controls are being sent to label printer. Our printer is a Zebra S4M using ZPLII. We send test form to our printer which will print two barcodes only (both 2-D), one is PDF-417 the other is Datamatrix. The spool output when viewed in Wordpad, is as below:
^XA
PRALH0,3
^XZ
CI13XA
^LL1219
^FO127,102
^BY3,,203
^B7N,,5,,,N
FHFD1234567890
^FS
^FO127,356
FHFD1234567890
^FS
^XZ
The ^B7 print control is the barcode PDF-417 control code. The Datamatrix control code ^BX is missing and should appear where there is an empty line. If we edit the spool output file and add the missing control code sequence, and then reprint the spool from SAP, then the Datamatrix 2-D barcode prints correctly.
So for some reason, the .zpl spool output file is not being generated with the ^BX control code sequence for the datamatrix barcode. We cannot find any information on why this is so.
We are running ECC6 SP11 (single stack) and ADS is running on a separate dual-stack BI system (NW2004s SP21).
Our Zebra S4M printer firmware is V53.17.6Z, and printer driver is ZebraDesigner 2.6.42 (Build 2382). Our SAP device type which is assigned is AZPL203. Our ADS version is 7.00.21.0.
We are seeing the same problem if we print test label from ECC or BI system. ECC kernel is 700 patch 266. BI kernel is 700 patch 254.
We have found SAP Notes related to incorrect ZPL format in ^BX for NW7.1 and NW7.1 EhP1, but not for NW7.0.
Has anyone else come across a problem like this before? Any advice would be much appreciated and duly rewarded.
Thanks in advance
George

Issue is resolved.
We updated our ADS to 7.11.5.0

Printing Purchase Order from ME9F using custom program and smartform

I was able to use my custom program which calls a smartform to print purchase orders from transaction ME9F. I did this using transaction NACE.
However, when I call "Output Message" from ME9F, the output always fails (shown by an 'X' icon after the checkbox). When I try to put back the standard program in NACE, it does not show an 'X' but a check which indicates that the printing was successful.
Do you know why this happens? What did I miss?
Here's my call to my smartform from my custom driver program:
    " Change Smartform ZP_MMSF_P01_PURCHASE_ORDER
    " to internal Function module name
    CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
        EXPORTING
            FORMNAME   = 'ZP_MMSF_P01_PURCHASE_ORDER'
        IMPORTING
            FM_NAME    = fmname
    wa_cparam-no_dialog = 'X'.
    wa_output-tddest = 'LOCL'. "or 'LP01'. "Spool: Output device
    CALL FUNCTION fmname
        EXPORTING
            control_parameters         = wa_cparam
            output_options             = wa_output
            i_data                     = i_data
            wa_lookup                  = wa_data_lookup
            goods_amt                  = goods_amt
            discount_amt               = discount_amt
            vat                        = vat
            total_amt                  = total_amt
            total_amt_inwords          = total_amt_inwords

Vijaya,
I have this problem though,
Whenever I try to provide values for CONTROL_PARAMETERS and OUTPUT_OPTIONS to the sapscript call in your code, the PO printing (even the preview) does not proceed. I do this because I wanted to suppress the printer dialog.
here is a fragment of the code:
" code I added
LS_COMPOSER_PARAM-tddest = 'LOCL'. "or 'LP01'. "Spool: Output device
LS_COMPOSER_PARAM-bcs_langu = sy-langu.
LS_CONTROL_PARAM-preview = 'X'.
LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_open = 'X'.
LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_close = 'X'.
LS_CONTROL_PARAM-device = 'PRINTER'.
LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_dialog = 'X'.
DO NAST_ANZAL TIMES.
*--In case of repetition only one time archiving
* if sy-index > 1 and nast-tdarmod = 3.
* nast_tdarmod = nast-tdarmod.
* nast-tdarmod = 1.
* ls_composer_param-tdarmod = 1.
* endif.
IF SY-INDEX NE 1 AND REPEAT IS INITIAL.
REPEAT = 'X'.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION LF_FM_NAME
EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_INDEX = TOA_DARA
ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = ARC_PARAMS
CONTROL_PARAMETERS = LS_CONTROL_PARAM
MAIL_RECIPIENT = LS_RECIPIENT
MAIL_SENDER = LS_SENDER
OUTPUT_OPTIONS = LS_COMPOSER_PARAM
USER_SETTINGS = SPACE
IS_NAST = NAST
IS_REPEAT = REPEAT
I tried to trace it to the function module generated by smartform. The error propagates this way: From the function module, there is a call to function SSFCOMP_PROCESS_DOCUMENT. Then inside that function, there is a perform operation to tr_ssfcomp_process_doc
perform tr_ssfcomp_process_doc using startpage docstruc
                                       header.
Inside that form, it calls the macro tr_active which checks the value of ssfcstat-trlevel (tracelevel) against c_trlevel_document. In the macro, if ssfcstat-trlevel is less than c_trlevel_document, the smartform will fail. c_trlevel_document is 15 and ssfcstat-trlevel is 0, and so the smartform fails.
(you can see the macro tr_active in include LSTXBCMAC and the form tr_ssfcomp_process_doc is in the include LSTXBCFTR)
When I do not put values in CONTROL_PARAMETERS and OUTPUT_OPTIONS, everything is ok.
Do you know why this happens?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I have found out about transaction SFTRACE, but this is disabled.
