Code39FullASCII
Applies required format to value to create usable Code 39 Barcode while allowing the full ASCII character set.
SpecName (constant) The variable containing the input to be converted. Proper Code39 font must be applied in the template.
ErrorMessage (multiple | optional) The error message to return when any error occurs.
This method follows the specifications of the base Code 39 barcode. The full ASCII character set can be printed in accordance with ISO 646. Each character is encoded using combinations of two symbol characters made up of one of the four Code 39 characters (+ $ % / ) followed by one of the 26 Code 39 barcode alphabetic characters.
