Barcode printing from SAP Script

[Nirav_Desai]

Dear all

I am trying to print a barcode from standard sap script (PM_COMMON). Barcode is coming perfect in print preview but it is not appearing in printing. Its only displaying the value for of the variable for which i am trying to print the barcode in printing. Are any specific settings needed for this?

Thanks and Regards.

Resolved by self, following is the solution:

Prefix and suffix u2018*u2019 to the text which we need as barcode in output.

HI

how use Prefix and suffix u2018*u2019  ?

<c>123456</>

[Nirav_Desai · Accepted solution]

Prefix and suffix ASTERIK sign *.

I think in my past post I had written asterisk sign in single quote so that had been converted to ASCII.

My dear friend thank you very much for answering, but be specific in answering and dont answer just for sake of answering, if you are not clear about the solution. Have you checked out that how many questions of this type have been answered and resolved. Infact none of them.

Hi,

Check the dimensions for your barcode and try to adjust your window sizes or the left and top margins in paragraph formats while displaying it.

May be the barcode is not exactly fitting in the window size, but which looks fine in print preview.

This happend with barcode in my case too.

Dear Dwaraka, Thank you very much for replying, but in my case this will not help. I have only one main window and all the detilas are within it. If you were able to print barcode using SAP Script can you please give me some details regaring the same.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Try to insert line feed character " / " after the bar code line in the editor, which provides sufficient space for display of bar code printing.

P1 <BC>&MKPF-MBLNR&</>

/

/

/

/

display other fields.

or you can have one paragraph format P1 with values of space before and space after columns filled (eg 2 cm each... something like to increase the space for displaying your bar code)

P1 <BC>&MKPF-MBLNR&</>

I think this will solve your problem. Refer to the standard forms used for displaying the labels(picking, packing lists etc...form name WASCHEIN)

Hi,

Adjust the second tab position value (reduce the tab position) before printing the bar code or increase the line feed characters and check the default paragraph settings.

and also check whether you are able to get the bar code printed if you insert the below code starting in a new line.

<BC> &AFVGD-RUECK(Z)& without using the tab position and few line feed characters before bar code printing something like

/ <I0>Confirmation number ,,<H>&AFVGD-RUECK(Z)&

/

/

/

/ <BC> &AFVGD-RUECK(Z)&

/
