How To Fix LE_SHP_BF_BARCODE014 - Length of value &1 cannot be expressed as an AI attachment (AI &2/&3)

LE_SHP_BF_BARCODE014 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: LE_SHP_BF_BARCODE - Development Class LE_SHP_BF_BARCODE Messages

• Message number: 014

• Message text: Length of value &1 cannot be expressed as an AI attachment (AI &2/&3)

What causes this issue?

Value &V1& is to be depicted in a bar code with data
descriptor/application identifier (AI) &V2& (in sub-field &V3&). The AI
requires that the length of the value be encoded as an attachment to the
AI, which is not possible according to the AI's attributes that were set
in Customizing. The relevant attributes include: the number of
characters predefined for the AI attachment, the multiplication and
addition factors, and potentially the entry that specifies whether the
value must have an even-numbered length.

System Response

How to fix this error?

There is no general procedure to follow in this situation. Either use
another AI (controlled in the bar code profile) to depict the value or
just leave the AI out.
