Hi,

Goto SE73 and select the Barcode which ever you want to use and in the change mode there is an option for rotating 90 degree 180 270 etc...

You should also mention which technology you use to print barcodes (probably a SIMM, so what is it), as there is no standard technology for SAPscript forms. So the solution will depend on that external technology.

Hi,

Follow the below steps.

-> Create the Print controls for output device using SPAD transaction. follow the below procedure

     SPAD(txn) -> device attributes-> double click on device type->print controls tab-define the control as mentioned below.

-> go to your smartform under the barcode window create the command node. Provide your print control as mentioned below.

-> If you want to rotate the text use below method. Create the program lines and use the FM STRING_REVERSE logic.

Example below. ( dummy data for your understanding ).

I hope it will work

Hi Mahesh,

I have worked on such requirement. I had used rotated barcodes in this case.

Kindly let me know if you have any queries.

Hi Mahesh,

I had mentioned that i had used rotated barcodes in this case. You can do that in tcode SE78 for logo and change mode and SE71 Barcodes, rotate by 90. Hence you will get the barcode vertical always and with FWR command it will turn all your text and all you need to do is align everything such that it looks perfect.

Hi Mahesh,

By using the command - S_LZPL_SETUP = '^FWR' , you can only rotate the TEXTS.

Logos and Bar codes will not be rotated.

You need to use a rotated logo to print it in the smart form.

You need to rotate the logo vertically by 90 degrees and then upload it in to SAP using SE78 and then use this logo to print it in the smart form output.

Hi Mahesh,

Were you able to resolve the issue by rotating the image and uploading it to the SAP system. I am facing a similar problem with my logo but I am not sure whether image rotation will help.

Also while rotating the image, do I need to change the position of the Logo as well in the smartform or it will automatically align with the texts?

Help would be appreciated!

keep all your attributes like texts in separate windows and print and align them as per the print you see..  mostly you need t overlap all the windows and adjust the height etc.. just keep prating and adjust..

I got another issue.

while printing material description it is printing one part in one line other part in other line.

its all one string.. with big length about 40 chars.

i used rotate command 90 degress in main window working for all ... but when material desc is longer its getting split.

Thanks,

Mahesh.

Hi Mahesh,

If the description is too long, either reduce the font or cut the desc short to characters that fit in one line. Or if you are able to see it correctly and you need it that way, adjust the layout such that it leaves one line for description extra, which will be left blank if the desc is short and filled if long.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Deepak,

if i reduce the font or any other way it is not working.

i split them into two window with size of 20 chars and put side by side it works great !!!

Thanks,

Mahesh

hi Mahesh,

Yes, but in that case if your description is less than 20 chars, your second window will be left blank. I hope that should still look OK. that's what i meant in last option.
