Hi,

In sapscript create a new character format..

In the character format you will get a option to give the bar code font..

Choose one..

Then use it like any other character format..

<BC>100000<>.

***************************

You can print barcodes in scripts and smartforms. You can get barcodes using the character format properties.You can barcodes using standard attributes of character format.For scripts in character format standard attributes you have a field barcode enter the sap barcode type there and assign the character format for the required text element.In smartforms you can in character format standard setting you can select barcode type in box barcode.Assign that character format for your text element.

Detailed 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.

Reward points if helpful.
