Reading EAN128 Barcodes

I'm trying to read barcode from some LTxx or LM (rf) transaction. That barcode has the EAN application identifyer 10 (batch) plus the batch number: (10)1234123412.
I did setup in SPRO>Logist.Exec>Mobile data Entry>Barcode> Assign barcode types to WH, but when I read with my barcode scanner, on the desired field, it returns +C1101234123412, which is not recognized by SAP. How do I do to have SAP "parsing" the barcode based on the config?
Thanks,
David

Hello David,
Pl. check whether you have maintained barcode specification / Structure for Barcode type in SPRO-> Log Exe -> Mob Data Entry -> Barcode -> Maintain barcode specification.
Also this OSS note may be helpful,
Note 645158 - New bar code technology for Smart Forms
Note 815788 - Default customizing of barcode settings is missing
Hope this helps.

Gs1 ean128 barcode from crystal report 2011

Hello
I am trying to produce a gs1 ean128 barcode from crystal report 2011 using 'Change to barcode' and choosing 'Code128 UCC/EAN-128'
If the barcode is made up of 2 different pieces of information, and the first one has a variable length ( for instance (20)25620(400)125411258 ) I have to put a separator character ( FNC1 ) before the second application identfiers, but I don't find any documentation about what character is to be used.
Moreover, it seems that the only available choice for GS1
('Code128 UCC/EAN-128') supply a CodeSet C barcode, and this can be used with even length strings only. If my string may have a odd length I have to use A or B Code , but I don't find other available function
Marco Terribilini

hi Marco, if you're using azalea barcode fonts, azalea has custom functions which can be used in conjunction with the fonts. you would put your data into a formula which uses the custom function and base the "change to barcode" on that formula. the link above will take you to their custom functions and downloads for various fonts. if you're using another provide, please consult their faq.

How to read a barcode from a digital camera into labview

Hello All,
Ive been working on a barcode reader project. My employer wants to create a barcode reader which rather than using a scanner would acquire the barcode using a digital camera/usb camera. The little that i know till now suggests that there are certain barcode series that labview can automatically read itself once the image has been acquired. We just need to acquire the image the correct way and then the labview will read the barcode from it and the information stored in the barcode will be generated from the hard drive of the computer.
P.S. My concepts might be way off the actual theory. Please bear wimme if im lost.

Using LabVIEW 8.2

Hello All,
Courtesy to AdnanZ i was able to understand the basics of reading the barcode. I downloaded the Vision toolkit from Labview and used the barcode example that comes with it. I have understood the VI except for the ROI part and there are certain more issues that i need to resolve in it before i proceed .
Please find the VI attached, I have also attached the image of VI block diagram. My queries in the order of there urgency are as under.
The problem starts with the ROI part. If you see the second flat sequence structure. The example sets the Region of Interest by using a property node and feeding it with a string array. There is also a waveform data type array feeding the "ROI color" part of the property node. Property nodes are there to set or get characteristics of certain types of data. I cannot understand its purpose here. Moreover how can i set the Region of interest according to my own liking. I can see a relation between setting the ROI and the values in the arrays. But by which criterion are these values set. Is it with hit n trial.
The code works perfect with the images stored as default in the example. But when i tried to add up my own images of barcodes downloaded from internet. It wasnt able to detect those barcodes. The code bydefault reads EAN-13 barcodes. I downloaded a few EAN 13 barcodes from the internet and fed them into the folder from which the program reads. But that dint happen. I think this is because the ROI is not set correctly. Though i am not sure about it.

Read Only Barcode Issue

I have a form that was imported from a PDF document in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I added a 3 of 9 barcode and the Default value is the form number (*1.764903.105NFS*). I do not want a user to be able to click on the barcode, so I made it Read Only. When this form is opened in Adobe Acrobat, I'm not able to click on the barcode, however, when this form is opened in Adobe Reader, I'm able to click on the barcode and the value displays (the form number) - which is what I do NOT want to happen. I have added Adobe Reader Extensions and I'm opening the form in Adobe Reader 9.4 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.
Also having the same barcode issue with forms that are designed in LC Designer.

you can verify your selectionListener event by creating your own custom selection listener
public void mySelectionListener(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String me = "#{bindings.myViewObject1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
MethodExpression myMethodExpr = fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createMethodExpression(fc.getELContext(),me, null, new Class[] {SelectionEvent.class});
myMethodExpr.invoke(fc.getElContext(), new Object[] {selectionEvent});
RowKeySet rwKeySet = selectionEvent.getAddedSet();
and in your jspx <af:table selectionListener="#{package1.view.backing_myBackingBean.mySelectionListener}"/>
by that way you can atlest verify whats wrong... ,hope this helps,

Leading zeros not reading in Barcode

I am trying to get a number field to read in a barcode. The field has leading zeros hard coded into the field to make it a uniform amount of digits. These zeros are not typed. The barcode will only read the information that is typed and will not read the zeros. Is there a way to change that.

If you are getting the values form an unformatted text field, then use the "valueAsStrting" property or you could pad the value to include leading zeros.
You can pad a value with leading zeros either by concatenating a string of zeros for the length to the value and them taking the right most number of digits or use 'util.printf()' method to format a fixed length string with leading zeros.

Read a barcode(including line feeds) into text item

When I scan a bar code from a text item, I am unable to retrieve line feeds that are in a barcode. I need line feeds to retrieve various values encoded in the barcode. When I scan the same code on a notepad, I get output in multi-lines. But, oracle forms is removing the line feeds when I scan barcode in a text item. Please advice. Forms Version is 10g

It gave me output of 10.
Original string looks like this with control charactes <LF> and <CR>.
@<LF><CR>ansi 636049030002dl00410466zn05070057dldcabcde<LF>dcbbcdefjklmw
I have to get hold of <LF> character because it is used as delimiter for data values in barcode. But, when I scan it in oracle forms item, it is not reading <LF> character. Based on what you suggested, using dump and ascii, it ilooks like it is reading carriage return <CR> as CHR(10) and not <LF>. There is one more <LF> in the string and forms text item is not recognizing it. Dump output is shown below:
@,^J,A,N,S,I, ,6,3,6,0,4,9,0,3,0,0,0,2,D,L,0,0,4,1,0,4,6,6,Z,N,0,5,0,7,0,0,5,7,D,L,D,C,A,B,C,D,E,D,C,B,B,C,D,E,F,J,K,L,M,W,

Is it possible to directly read a barcode into Labview?

I have a barcode reader that reads codes into Notepad as expected, but I'm having no luck reading a code into Labview 8.6. Is it possible to read a code directly into Labview using a bar code reader. The reader I'm using is a Symbol DS6708. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A bit off topic, and I believe it's been discussed int he Feedback board before.
But this marking of the wrong post seems to happen very often. Why do the users have a tendency to mark their thank you message as the solution rather than the actual helpful message? Is it a difficult concept? Something about the wording of solution or the layout of the messages that leads them to it?
I would go so far as to suggest that users are unable to mark their own messages as the solution. While it can be perfectly legitimate and there are instances where people solve their own problem, it seems to happen very rarely compared to how often people are wrongly marking their own message.

Read 2 barcode serial numbers

Is it possible to read to separate barcodes in TestStand 3.0 without over writing the barcode of the first read and if so how would I do it?
Tony

Hi Tony,
The great thing about TestStand is you can make it do pretty much
whatever you want. Since TestStand can call code modules from just
about any programming
language, if you can write a program to do what you want, TestStand can
use it. It's just a matter of determining where in the Process Model /
Test Sequence to insert your code module.
In my experience people have used bar codes as a serial number entry
method. Serial number entry is handled by the Process Model,
specifically in the Pre UUT portion. You could use the Pre UUT callback
in your sequence file to call a code module that does all the work
involving your barcode entry, then pass it on to the Serial Number
variable within TestStand that gets used in your report.
Hope this helps Tony, have a great weekend!

App to read back barcode to scanner?

I have a couple entry cards that use barcodes read by a scanner. Today, someone mentioned that there is an App that allows folks to take a picture of their barcode and then hold the phone up to the scanner and thereby avoid carrying extra cards around.
I'm not finding this in the App store, so: I need to use different search terms or this is an App for Droid phones and not iPhones.
Sound familiar to anyone here?

Yup, I have Red Laser, and have tried out the other barcode readers. Great tools for shopping, especially for big ticket items or end of season sales.
But what I'm looking for now is an app that let's me record a bar code and then produce it to be read back to a scanner. I tried shooting a pic of the barcode, but the scanner didn't recognize the image.
Since the staff saw someone do this, I know it is out there. What I don't know is what the correct vocabulary might be to find this app. Or whether the app is (horrors!) only available for Droid phones that look like an iPhone to someone seeing it from a distance.

AI display in form EAN128 barcode

Hi
I m trying to print an EAN128 bar code in smartforms
I need to display Application identifier into barcode for sscc number
eg: 000000234567892200 as
(00)0000234567892200
what do we need setup or add code in SAP
what exactly the changes we need to in SAP
Thanks
Anil

Create a function module and build the logic for your requirement.
eg: 000000234567892200 as (00)0000234567892200
Sample: code
Data: VAR1(19),
VAR2(21).
Var1 = '00000023456789220'.
Var2+0(1) = '('.
var2+1(2) = var1+0(2).
var2+3(1) = ')'.
var2+4(16) = var1+2(16).
Call above routine before passing the variable to your barcode.
I guess, above logic will help you to close the thread.

How mobile device ( rfid/barcode reader) communicates with SAP transaction.

Dear Friends !
Good morning, How are you ?
I want to understand that in ITSmobile How Mobile device ( RFID Reader ot Barcode scanner/reader) to fetch the data and supply the ITS screen.
I believe every mobile device has some .dll file or something in that we have some methods if we call it say in .net or java application we can read the rfid or barcode and from the returning paramter of the .dll method we can get information what we want ( if i m not wrong).
now the question is if I have some barcode /rfid number which is assigned to sap material number. if on mobile device I run mm02 transaction code n trigger the gun can I get the material number in material number field . ( assume I have program which can fetch the material number from barcode/rfid number.) ? but to pass rfid number / barcode what should I do. I can write javascript and call that method but dont know weather I can use javascript or not in that.
to be simple:
How can I get barcode / rfid number to my sap transaction. if possible
please give me any suggestion. document link... help.... whatever may help me to understand this. I will greatly appreciate your reply
Thanking you
Regards
Naeem

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.
The Javadoc to get an idea about how to use those PIOS API for barcode scanner
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nwmobile/SP3/laptops/com/sap/ip/me/api/pios/scanner/ScannerConnection.html
As input from Barcode scan have to be taken in Wedge Mode, there is no need to do any developments in MI JSP Application. To enable barcode scan one can download barcode scan tools available from Handheld Vendor sites

Read BARCODE in PDF file

Hi! I've a requirement to read some barcodes inside PDF files. I actually can read from images, but can't find how to read them from a PDF. Someone has done this? Or maybe some suggestions to convert PDF to image, in that way I can read the code from the generated imaged?
Best regards!

I believe the iText library lets you read PDFs in Java. You can google it. Or for that matter, google java pdf library.
Once you know how to extract the barcode image from the PDF, it will be the same steps you use to read the image normally. If it's stored as something other than an image, that should be documented in the library's docs.

Barcode Reader

This is a bit of a long shot that I'll get an answer here, but I'm trying to use a handheld barcode scanner to scan in barcoded serial numbers. If I scan in barcodes in to a Console or in to an AWT text area it's fine but if I scan in to a Swing text area it misses out double digits, e.g. if the barcodes is 1A8500 there's approximately an equal chance of it reading 1A850 instead of 1A8500. And if the code is something like 1222739900222 then it'll almost certainly make a mistake.
Things like Excel, Notepad work fine, and I've tried adjusting key repeate rate too. This is a PS2 scanner daisychained to the keyboard.
Also note that this is not a problem with the barcode algorithm using a shortcut to represent double digits, I've tried it on a very simple code that uses 5 lines per chracter and takes no shortcuts.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I think it might just be sending data too fast for Swing to process all of the key event, missing some up or down events.

Hi LeeChristie ,
I am working on a similar application for reading the barcode.
I am unable to understand how the scanned barcode data can be collected using the application.
I have developed a barcode generator and is working .Now i need to develop an application that decodes(get the data) the
data while scaned.
As you said that your application is working fine can you please help me in developing my application.
Also can you share the piece of code with me

Barcode reader input to string control

Hi,
I am using a barcode reader that uses keyboard emulation. The barcode types on the computer the same way a keyboard would. When I open notepad and use the barcode reader to read a barcode, the following meesage is typed:
S/N: 17967
Lin: 0.591%
Ph: 1.32deg
In that exact format. However, when I try use the reader in labview with a string control the format changes. The following meassages are printed instead:
S/N: 17967mn: 0.591%m: 1.32deg
S/N: 17967mn: 0.591%mn: 1.32deg
S/N: 17967mnLin: 0.591%mPh: 1.32deg
S/N: 17967mn: 0.591%m:1.32deg
So the format changes. Sometimes the Lin and Ph are printed other times they are not, spacing in the string changes, and in all cases the carriage return is no longer there.
Could you please let me know what might be causing this. Ideally I would like the message to be read in the same format it is in notepad. My code is attached.
Thanks

Is there a reason you have a timeout event? You are not doing anything in there. So I would remove the timeout (you can just remove the timeout input or set it to -1).
I'm just thinking that if you set the focus while the scanner is doing its thing is causing the issue you are seeing.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions
