The error and update for the Transact SQL Font Formulas:
Corrected the ISNUMERIC issue within the Code 128 formula.

The error is occurs in the Code 128 formula when it checks for numeric characters using ISNUMERIC for the function. In versions of SQL Server, the hyphen "-" is recognized as a numeric character. When several numeric characters precede the hyphen, the encoding mode switches to Set C and the data is interleaved into pairs. Because the hyphen is not a true numeric character, the function crashes.

* Code 39
* Code 128
* Interleaved 2 of 5
