BArcode in Smartforms

[Former Member]

Hi I am having problem with barcodes in smartforms.

in Se73 i created a barcode type used in smartstyles in the character format.

In my smartform i am using the smartstyle and i am able to see the barcode created in SE73.

In Smartforms i created a window for displaying the barcode and i created a text and with the text i am unable to select the character format. It shows the character but i am unable to select it.

Any suggestions and is there a example in SAP which also prints the barcode in smartforms.

THanks,

HI Madhu,

u can write as...

<b>PR Material Code is: < LI > &WA_ITAB-MATNR&< / ></b>

where PR is paragraph format and LI is character format

pls remove the spaces between < LI > and < / >

and in output options u have to provide the style name and be sure that both character formats are assigned to same style in t-code SMARTSTYLES.

If u want to assign them directly in editor it dont accept.

HI Madhu..

I mean Instead of LI u have to type ur characterformat which is assigned to Barcode in smartstyles.

and in output options u have to provide the style name and be sure that both character formats are assigned to same style in t-code SMARTSTYLES.

If u want to assign them directly in editor it dont accept.

I have tried that as well it says the same error. Unknown format.

In the text general attributed tab in the editor i am trying to put the character format. it dosent except. However when i type the paragraph format it accepts and in the result i see the number not the barcode.

IS there an example in SAP which prints the bar code.

Thanks,

hi.

ok... i give the check list..

1. SE73.... create ZBARCODE

2. SMARTSTYLES : create character format, paragraph format under <b>ZSTYLE</b>. and assign the character format to ZBARCODE.

3.SMARTFORMS: In <b>Output options</b> TAB ... STYLE : ZSTYLE --> SAVE

in General attributes... Give the paragraph format given in ZSTYLE .

I hope u can see the Character formats by drop down in character format field.

and give in command prompt script editor..

<b>PR < LI > &ITAB_MATNR& < / ></b>

Thanks Syed for your patience and effforet for wriing all the steps.

I have done everythign similar as you specified. I can also see the character in the character format dropdown. However i am unable to select it in the dropdown. So i clicked the editor but here i dont see the character format. SO i typen in manually but when i click back button it pops with an error message saying unknown format.

hi Madhu,

OK last try...

when u can see the characterformat in drop down..

then first select the variable which u want to display as barcode... and then select the characterformat in dropdown.

then the variable will be displayed underline as <u>&WA_ITAB-MATNR&</u>.

if doesn't solve ur problem... can u send some screen shots..to my email.. to have look... email is sabteam4u@yahoo.com
