ECC 200 symbols:
There are 24 square symbol sizes available, with both row and column dimensions,
which may be specified in fields jjj and kkk, measured in modules as indicated in the
following list - 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 64, 72, 80, 88,
96, 104, 120, 132, and 144. If an ECC 200 symbol is specified with odd numbers of
rows or columns, the next largest even value will be used. Input values greater than
144 or less than 10 will cause the symbol to be automatically sized for the input
character stream. The record format is shown here, expanded with spaces.

144
A 3 digit even number (or 000) of rows requested.
000 causes rows to be automatically determined. The
symbol will be sized to a square if the rows and columns do
not match by taking the larger of the two values.

144
A 3 digit even number (or 000) of columns requested.
000 causes columns to be automatically determined. The
symbol will be sized to a square if the rows and columns do
not match by taking the larger of the two values.
