Suraj Khurana closed OFBIZ-10896. --------------------------------- Thanks Pawan Verma for reporting, analysis and providing the patch. Thanks everyone else for providing their inputs during discussion on Dev ML. > Use code128 instead of code39 for barcode generation > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-10896 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10896 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ALL COMPONENTS > Affects Versions: Trunk > Reporter: Pawan Verma > Assignee: Suraj Khurana > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Upcoming Branch > > Attachments: OFBIZ-10896-plugins.patch, OFBIZ-10896.patch > > > This has been discussed on [mailing > thread|https://markmail.org/message/2unwynhirkjfradl] over the dev list. > > While researching on OFBIZ-10743, I have found that currently, we are using > code39 to generate barcodes but there are some limitations of code39 as it > only able to encrypt letters from A to Z, digits from 0 to 9 and an > additional set of special characters – “. $ % + – / *”. > > To enhance the support for more characters in barcode I would suggest using > code128 instead of code39. > > Below are some of the advantages of code128: > # code128 supports all the 128 ASCII symbols. > # code128 standard is more concise and space-efficient. It also provides its > users with higher degrees of data security. > I will upload a patch soon for the improvement. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
