No need to read barcode ,use charcter format to this..

Example : You are passing material number to Smartform ,you maintain barcode in charcter format in smartstyle transaction,

just use matnr in text element

&MATNR& here you need to assign Barcode

good

If you have a barcode scanner, then you should not need reading the barcode into an ascii file to get the data read in an standard or custom screen field. You can read it directly to the field you want. (unless... you have complex data coded in the barcode - for example if you're using an ean-ucc 128 compliant code and you're sending several fields in a single code ... In this case, an interface is almost mandatory because you must interpret the data fields according to the ucc standard, split the code into several fields .... and .... pure programming logic ).

To put it clear: if you have to read, for example, a barcode that holds the legal number of an invoice using a barcode scanner and this number should be sent to migo-> bktxt then you don't need an interface. The scanner itself acts like a fast operator entering the characters using a keyboard and filling in the field.

We're reading barcodes in several places (when we finish each pallet, when we receive an invoice, and so on. Each case is a different screen. We arent using an ascii file to read these barcodes. Furthermore, we read the invoice legal number into migo bktxt field (Head Text).

Hi Senthil,

Since you want to upload the scanned information into sap which you designed in Barcode software - Save the scanned doc in TIFF format and upload it in to SAP by using RSTXLDMC (Uploading TIFF Files to SAPscript Texts).

To display or print the barcode data in forms we need to convert it to std.text and then as Seshu said you can the Field symbols like &MATNR& in the standard text once it has been converted.

The value for this field symbols will get from print program.

I believe this helps you and reward points if so

hi ram,

i dont want to convert tiff file. or upload once again to sap.

i want to upload directly into sap. bcoz end user may scan 100 to 200 barcodes at a particular time. so he cant able to upload everytime.

hope u understand my requirement....

Senthil
