Requirement for barcode scanning

[former_member435508]

Hi All,

I need to add the value of scanned barcode in my Ztable.

For this Requirement -->

I think --

First I need to have a module pool program with i/p field (say about 64 char i/p field) for barcode value.

Now what next -->

How the scanner (which attached to USB port) will display the barcode value in i/p field of my program??

What I need to do for this???

BarCode will be read by your scanner and write in human language in your field

||||||||||||   -->   Scanner -->   0123456 (in your field)

regards

Fred

Hey Fred - Thanks...

I mean to say - any additional software installation or additional development is required for this???

Scanner it's an input device, it reads the barcode and write the corresponding value. When I explain this to end user, I ask them to imagine the barcode (simple) is like a keyboard.

Hi,

From Barcode reader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"

USB

Later barcode readers began to use USB connectors rather than the keyboard port, as this became a more convenient hardware option. To retain the easy integration with existing programs, a device driver called a "software wedge" could be used, to emulate the keyboard-impersonating behavior of the old "keyboard wedge" hardware.

Hi, if barcode reader is directly attached to system, then where ever you place cursor, the scanned value will show up there. So in your scenario, if you have dialog program with input field and cursor is positioned on the input field, as soon as you scan, the value will show up in the field. Now you validate and process it as required....

Hi Priya,

if the Requirement is scan the bar-code and save in DB means no need for screen (module pool) program

you can use normal executable program 

use parameter (click the input field and scan the bar-code)

(if you have any logic in between you can fetch from corresponding tables)

then modify the field in your DB.

(if you need clarity specify your requirement in detail )

Hi,

Thanks.

We started to receive invoices (soft copy) with barcodes - & requirement is we need to save this barcode (value) in our DB Table.

My first try was to get barcode value without scanner - with help of some development (which seems not possible) - Kindly help me if this could be there...

Is it so that each time I need to scan the invoice to add value to DB? (as we get hundreds of invoice daily - & need to work on all)
