Barcode Length

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need to increase the Barcode lenth. Now, It is getting warning like “Length error for barcode BARCLVS”.

I try to do changes in SE73, there I am getting message like “Test possible for new barcode technology only” and also there is no option for barcode modification.

Please help me on this urgent.

Thanks in advance…

Hi,

SInce the barcode BARCLVS is system bar code, so it will not allow to change the length.

Create ur own z barcode format as per the BARCLVS and then increase the length of that barcode.

use that z code in ur form

hope it helps.

Kasturi,

Use transaction SE73. Create your own font & try.

Go to transaction SE73 and have a look at your "Printer Bar Codes".

Select your device type and you should see a whole list of the Barcodes supported by the printer.

Now sice your barcode has to be increased, iopen the BC_EANH Bar Code . You will notice that there are print controls (Prefix and Suffix).

These are printer commands (ie Print Controls) and are specific to the device type. You will need to change some of these values to increase the height (refer to the programming guide relevant to your printer.

Think of these Prefix and Suffix commands like the Character Formats in SAPscript.

eg. data<> where is the prefix and <> is the suffix.

These prefixes and suffixes tell the printer to use a particular font.

What I would do is copy your existing Barcode Font to a Z barcode

(let's call it ZNEW) and assign it the a custom Prefix (eg SBP91) and Suffix (SBS91).

Now copy the contents of your existing EAN128 Barcode to your custom prefix and suffix and modify them according to your printer's prgramming guide. Make sure that you assign your new Barcode to the relevant device type.

Then you can modify your SAPscript / SmartForm to use your new barcode (ZNEW).
