Hi,

We have a scenario where Barcode is getting Scanned using RF Scanner by Third Party and getting updated in the SAP Screen Field.

But in Screen Layout maximum limitation is 132 characters.

Can anybody advice how to Scan Barcode of More than 170 characters.

Regards,

Vishal

Hi Vishal

You can define the screen field by:

1. Change the Display length to as you want

2. Set it as scrollable.

So, it can accept as much as you can, but display only 132, and scrollable as well.

Hi Venkat,

You mean If I set this as scrollable then even if the Barcode scanned is of more than 132 characters then remaining truncated characters can be viewed down after scrolling.

If this is the case then it is not working.

Hi Vishal,

It should be working...

What is the data type of the Screen Field you defined in the screen layout.

Example:  If I have WA_BARCODE  TYPE C LENGTH 255.

In screen field - the attributes of wa_barcode should be   Display Length 255,  Visible Length 130,  (Automatically Scroll check box will be checked) - Also display attribute as Output field.
