Hello Everyone,

How can I read data from the barcode reader in a form developed using Forms Builder of Oracle Developer/2000 release 6.0?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As far as reading is concerned it is a hardware level configuration.
A barcode reader works similar to your Keyboard.
After entering some data into feild from keyvoard you press Tab and some actions are performed.

Similarly you need to configure your Barcode reader to send a TAB character along with the data read into the desired feild.

HTH

Hi

Let me know the platform in which you need to do this (Unix/Windows)

You need to use an interface program to get data from the Scanner and pass it over to your Form. Most suitable interface program for Forms is Pro*C program.

In case you use an handel scanner the scanner program available should be able to pass the Barcode value into the Form by itself(Text item where the cursor is located)

Do investigate in this angle and let me know if you need some help in this regard.

Thanks
