Using SAPscript, you can format data to print out as bar codes. Bar codes are often printed on labels to allow machine reading of data for such purposes as inventory of stock, transport, purchase, and so on.

Bar codes code data as a series of lines of varying thickness and/or distance from one another. Sometimes they include a check number, which is used for detecting and analyzing errors. Sometimes the bar code data is also repeated in human-readable numeric form.
