Bar code labels

[Former Member]

I m printing bar code labels.The table have some filled data that is not printing correctly.

The " &" character is printing outtage.

The ampersand character "&", is printing out as <(>&<)>.

Am I supposed to do any change in the code for label printing to remove this unwanted characters from the label?

Kindly resolve.

Hii

I also encountered the same problem.

This problem is due to read_text function module.

The R/3 system uses READ_TEXT system-wide and the standard functionalities to mask the special ITF characters. READ_TEXT

is working as designed.We cannot change the syntax of this function module, as it would then cause problems with other

applications using it.

The Sapscript must mask the & character, because usually a & starts a symbol.

Therefore it is saved as <(>&<)> in the Sapscript ITF format.

The special ITF characters are '&', '<' and '>'.

After Read_text,use a function module like CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT to convert the ITF format to pure text, if you only want to get the pure text and you don't want to handle the text via the Sapscript
