Description
I am trying to generate a CODE39 bar code that contains an asterisk but it generates this error => 0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: "W20121921377700*" is not a valid input for undefined
I read somewhere that the character is used to delimit the field being converted and that's why it throws the error but I'm not sure how to get around it. Is there a way to escape the asterisk so it doesn't blow up in conversion?
