Note: Beginning with Oracle9i Reports, Release 2 (9.0.2),
you can use a barcode JavaBean that automatically generates the barcode for
you. For a detailed example, see the chapter titled "Building a Report
with a Barcode JavaBean" in the Oracle Reports Building Reports
manual, available on the Oracle
Technology Network Oracle Reports Documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
).
To create a barcode using a barcode font:
Note: For portability between platforms, you can use a PostScript barcode font to allow you to print your report to any PostScript-enabled output device.
Create a query that selects a column from the database containing the numbers for the barcodes you want included in your report.
In the Paper Layout view,
click the barcode field, and choose FormatFont
to apply the barcode font to the field.
