[jira] [Created] (OFBIZ-10896) Use code128 instead of code39 for barcode generation

Pawan Verma created OFBIZ-10896:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: 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


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.
