Printing barcodes from an ABAP report program without SAPscript

Printing barcodes from an ABAP report program without SAPscript

Printing barcodes from a SAP script is quite easy, but how can we print it with a WRITE statement? The following ABAP code is a tested solution, which prints barcodes (type ARTNR -code 128) on Kyocera (F800-FSxxxx series) laserjet printers. For other types of printers find the printer control and driver info from the user manual and define it your report.

Note: This code has not been tested above 4.0B versions.
