Barcode: differences between mine and the original

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have to print labels with barcode in EWM 7.0; since I don't have any data yet, I hardcoded the code in the

smartform using the one of an original label (useful to compare the results), but the barcodes are different, also

the preview is wrong.

My barcode has to be 128 C, so I created a ZBARCODE of type 128 N and I added '>;' to my code to switch it into

type C, as the note 645158 says, but it doesn't work. I also tried to print it without '>;', the result is better,

but anyway it's different from the original. The code is constituted by 18 digits (check digit included).

I also tried to modify my barcode definition changing to type A and U, but without improvements.

To print it I use a Zebra through LOCL.

Thanks

Hi,

I read note 645158. It states:

In default mode N (None), the Code128 bar code works in subset B.

By my reading, thecode to switch to subset c from B is >5.

Hi Aidan,

thank you for your response.

Thus, if my code is 123456789012345678, it must be written >5123456789012345678 to encode the subset C?

Then, what does '>;' mean?

What's the right procedure into the smartform?

CONCATENATE '>5' MY_CODE INTO V_CODE.

Then assign the paragraph with the barcode to V_CODE.

Please, could someone at least explain me if my procedure is right? I read different SAP notes but it's not clear how to switch to at type 128 C.

Thanks
