I am having an issue on SSRS and barcodes if the text contains special characters, in this case there are parentheses.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Is this something that can he handled with a special font or does the text has to be tweaked somehow?
Any help is much appreciated.
The default (and therefore free) barcode that ships with Epicor, DWBAR39, does not support parentheses characters. There are other (literally hundreds of other) barcode options that can be purchased if you already have a bunch of part numbers using special characters that you would find VERY difficult to change. Depending on the industry you’re in, there may be a common barcode scheme, but a couple of popular ones that support parentheses characters (and many other special characters) are Code 39 Extended and Code 128. Just search for “barcode fonts” in Google (or your search engine of choice) and see what you can find. Many of us here have gone through this and can help you get them set up.
