Solution:
1. Make sure ITF is enabled
- Open DataWedge

2. Modify Decode Length if needed

About Decode Lengths:
Variable length - Decode symbols containing any number of characters:
- Set both Length1 and Length2 to "0" (zero)
Range - Decode a symbol with a specific length range from a-b (inclusive):
- Set Length1 to "a" (the lower bound) and set Length2 to "b" (the upper bound)
Two Discrete Lengths - Decode only symbols containing either of two specific lengths:
- Set Length2 as the shorter length and Length1 as the longer one
One Discrete Length - Decode only symbols containing a specific length:
- Set both Length1 and Length2 to the desired (non-zero) length
