Barcode Input

Former Member — Sat, 16 May 2009 05:00:25 GMT

Hi,

I have one text field in abap program, where input should come from scanner by scanning a barcode.

But when i copy paste the data it is allowing it.

My requirement is that the data should only be allowed from scanner not from any other source.

Plz help

Regards,

Priya

Hi,

If your scanner is connected to the keyboard port, you cannot do anything.

System cannot differentiate if the data is scanned or has come thro keyboard or mouse.

The only option available is to remove the keyboard & mouse from the line(If the business process allows).

Or train the users not to copy paste.
