why set the max of ‘ pharmacode’ to 131070？

I read the why set the max limit of ‘ pharmacode’ to 131070？I changed the source code and try to set bigger than 131070, but my scanning machine can't identify the code

That's because 131070 is the maximum value stored in the Pharmacode. This has nothing to do with the JsBarcode library but the Pharmacode barcode standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacode. If you modify the source code to allow bigger values the output barcode won't be a valid Pharmacode thus won't be recognized by any scanning machine.

Hmmm... this generator says different: https://www.tec-it.com/en/support/knowbase/barcode-overview/linear2/Default.aspx#One-Track%20Pharmacode It says it can have any length and is even able to generate longer codes for greater numbers.

However, the official spec says 131070 too. JsBarcode could support 2-track pharmacode though?
