Oracle Reports example

Can you please send me an example of the Oracle Reports formula to display barcode data "(02)88429259195141(37)88"?
I need to generate GS1 128 barcode and I don't know if I need to select barcode font in Paper Layout, include parentheses in data to encode, select ApplyTilde, etc.

Thanks.

Best Answer

To generate GS1-barcodes in Oracle Reports, we have a couple of solutions:

NOTE: The solutions will only work in Oracle 9i and up.


The Java Component can generate GS1-128 barcodes as an image in Oracle Reports.

The Universal Font Package with PLL is also another option.

The Universal Font Package includes PostScript Fonts as well as many other font file types.


PostScript files are located in the path
IDAutomation_UniversalFontAdvantageIDAutomation_UniversalFontAdvantagePostScript
and include .afm, .pfa, and .pfm files.


For Windows users:

1. In the Universal Font Package product folder named IDAutomation_UniversalFontAdvantage, double-click the subfolder named IDAutomation_UniversalFontAdvantage:

2. Double-click the PostScript folder.

3. There are several IDAutomation Universal PostScript files including .pfm

I need "font_name.pfm" and "font_name.pfb" to embed fonts in pdf generated by Oracle Reports, as you can see in the link you send me. Where can I get these files?

Thanks.

Danigome,

As mentioned in my previous message, the actual font is not responsible for the embedding process and all the PLL does is encode the data (it is not related to the display of the barcode other than the encoding).

Verify that when you are embedding as a PDF you are pointing to the right font. I know that many users have this issue whether they are using barcode fonts or custom fonts. Sometimes the actual font is not selected to be embedded. Beyond this information, there is not much additional support that I can provide.

I've been using older IDAutomation font in Oracle Reports pdf for several years without any problem. I have only changed the older pll for the newer one (and changed the function call method). Please, tell me what I have to change to get the barcode in the Oracle pdf report, instead of the characters.

Thanks.

If you are viewing in a PDF or an application that requires the font to be embedded, check to make sure it is actually embedded. If not, then you will only see the encoded data that you described: EBJMAIFFEMCAAEKAAOKEAFCBIEICECMAICECAMIBJEBANGIAH

Neither the font nor the encoder is responsible for this portion.

If you are printing directly to the printer (non-PDF), verify the printer drivers are updated.

I have selected "IDAutomation Uni L" font in Oracle Reports and when I print the barcode I get several characters instead of a barcode.
The data in the function IDAUTOMATION_UNI.CODE128(~2120298429259102337~212371,TRUE);
generates "EBJMAIFFEMCAAEKAAOKEAFCBIEICECMAICECAMIBJEBANGIAH".
I have installed universal fonts and I can't see the barcode.

Thanks.

When using an IDAutomation Universal function, the IDAutomation Universal Font such as IDAutomation Uni L (or demo version IDAutomation SUni L) must be applied to the encoded data.

I'm trying to print the GS1-128 barcode in Oracle Reports 11 with data (02)88429259082359(37)110. I'm using the tilde option and encoding the data using the next function:
IDAUTOMATION_UNI.CODE128(~21288429259082359~21237110,TRUE);
The barcode is generated but is huge (half of a page). I'm using the barcode font IDAUTOMATIONC128M.
¿What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
