Hi,
We do not need /E option in smartform since we can make use of program lines and write the code as we write it in se38. here we do not have any elements nor we make use of them as we do it in scripts..we used to make use in scriots since we need to code for a window separtly and call by means of /E but know we need not need it rather create progam lines in window where u want to wite the code and use it . It works similar to the /e...try this.

Printing ZPL code directly to a printer

In my abap program a have a string that contains ZPL code. I'd like to send that ZPL code directly to the user's local printer. Is there a way to do this in ABAP? I looked at FM PRINT_TEXT but I'm not sure if that is the best way to do it.
If I were to do this outside of SAP. I would call up the windows command prompt and type:
copy C:\Label.txt LPT1
I just don't know how to do this from ABAP.

Generate bar codes in smartforms

Hi,
I wonder to know how can I add bar codes to a smartform. Bar codes should be generated in a automatic sequence and its number should be printed too.
Thanks a lot,
Nuno Moreira

Hi Gregor,
Let me try to explain better.
1. I'm using the bar code in smartforms and I'm able to generate the bar code graphic. But I want to print the bar code graphic and the bar code number, so what I was asking is if there is some way to associate automatically the number with bar code graphic, instead of write the number again with a regular font format, because like this is very difficult to format properlly the graphic with the associated number.
2. What I want to do is, print daily several letters identified with a bar code, so it'll be nice if the system could generate a automatic sequence of number to convert in bar code graphics.
I hope you could understand my doubts.
Thanks again,
Nuno Moreira

Performance wise Code In smartform

Hello,
I have one doubt for performance issue in smartform.
While creating 'Z' smartform data fetching can be done by two ways,
Which one is better out of two mentioned -
1. Code in smartform itself.
2. Code in driver program and pass that data to smartform via form interface.
In SAP standard smartforms it is always done in Smartform itself.
Also please suggest which one is easy to debug?
Regards
Vishal
Edited by: Vishal Chavan on Jun 11, 2009 7:55 AM

Hi Vishal,
As far as i am concerned it is always better to separate the data selection from the data used in the smartform.
Having your code in a driver program has better advantage over the code in smartform.
1.It is easy to change and maintain the code.
2.You can use the driver program for different smartforms with minimal changes.
Performance and debugging doesn't differ much either you code it smartform or in the driver program.
For more information please go through the below link.

To print bar code in smartforms.

Hi,
I want to print bar code in smartforms. how to do that one.
Thanks ,
sanjukta

Hi,
There's another way of doing it. Here we go... You can generate an ITF file for your data from any third party softwares.
Once you have the ITF file, this is what you have got to do.
Uploading label file to SAPscript
1. Use the standard text editor (Transaction SO10) to upload the print file to SAPscript.
2. Create a new standard text with any name. In the text editor load the created print file
(.ITF file) with the function "Text->Upload" and select "ASCII" as a format. Store the ITF
print file as a standard text.
3. Include the standard text in your SAPScript.
4. Set up Device Type Generally, a special device type (a variant of the device type ASCIIPRI) must be used for the correct printout of the layout set on a label printer. SAP supplies these device types on the ftp server sapservX and delivers them in the standard SAP system. The device type ASCIIPRI can normally be used for the basic test of procedure with other label printers.
5. Define your output Device As the last step, an output device (printer) must be set up in the R/3 with Transaction SPAD. The special device type or ASCIIPRI is assigned to this output device (printer). The application program must now use this output device to print the labels. The label printer connects itself to the R/3 via one of the standard available connection types in SAP R/3 (local print on the application server/removed print via lpd server/removed print via Windows PC and SAPlpd/frontend print). Your thermal printer must be connected to one of the available output channels for print output.
6. What is the Barcode Symbology you are using? Upload method doesn't support EAN.UCC 128. But still there is workaround.
Feel free to revert back.

BAR CODES in smartforms - conversion problems to PDF

Hello,
I have a problem. Have a look at the following points and see what I have done:
1. I generated several different system bar codes using SM73
2. I added those system bar codes to a smartformstyle
3. and built a smartform using smartformstyle of system-bar codes.
4. then I made some examples of bar codes in the smartform as text.
5. next I sent this smartform via email as an pdf attachment using smartform mail functionality.
6. shocking - all bar codes in the pdf-file are not readable. You can see that there is a barcode placed, but all barcodes looks like the same.
Has somebody got a idea on what is going on here?
I already had a look at OSS Notes 430887 and 645158.

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.
Check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d9/4a94c851ea11d189570000e829fbbd/content.htm
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

Transaction Code for Smartforms...

Hi All,
i have created smartform and now i want to create Transaction code for that..how can i do that, i knew tcode 93 for creating transaction code..but after creating transaction code while executing it is giving error...
Pls help..
Regards,
yunus

Hi,
first u create the driver program.
then call the smart from from that driver program. driver program is simply an exceutable report program.
from that use the FM - > SSF_FUCTION_MODULE_NAME
give the t-code for this report program.
eg: code
DATA: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.
call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
exporting
formname = 'ZSMARTFORM'
* VARIANT = ' '
* DIRECT_CALL = ' '
IMPORTING
FM_NAME = FM_NAME
EXCEPTIONS
NO_FORM = 1
NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2
OTHERS = 3.
*at first give the 'Environment' menu-->'Function Module *Name' in the below code and call 'PATTERN'.
*then Remove that number with FM_NAME
call function FM_NAME
* EXPORTING
* ARCHIVE_INDEX =
* ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB =
* ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =
* CONTROL_PARAMETERS =
* MAIL_APPL_OBJ =
* MAIL_RECIPIENT =
* MAIL_SENDER =
* OUTPUT_OPTIONS =
* USER_SETTINGS = 'X'
* IMPORTING
* DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO =
* JOB_OUTPUT_INFO =
* JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS =
TABLES
GS_MKPF = INT_MKPF
EXCEPTIONS
FORMATTING_ERROR = 1
INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
SEND_ERROR = 3
USER_CANCELED = 4
OTHERS = 5.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.

Code in SMARTFORM

What is the most efficient way to develop a SMARTFORM?
to write the code in the smartform or the print program?
please help me. I need to know this immediately.
Thanks,
Archana.

Archana,
The best way is to wite the code outside the smarform. If you have the code in the smartform then its useful to the specific SF only.
If yu want to reuse the same code (subroutine) then if the Subroutine is out the SF and in a separate program then you can use where ever the same out put is required.
For Example. : For address you can write the code in a program and call the subroutine from any SF where ever you have to print the address.
Regards....
