I am given a task to develop a small library which needs to be able to read PDF417 barcode located on the back of the Driver's License card and parse the data out to our custom object.
US Drivers License Barcode Attributes by State Ever have your Drivers License scanned at a store? Well here’s the private information you’re releasing by State. Dec 12, 2014 It's a Handheld 2D Barcode Scanner, and I want to use it to scan the barcode on the back of a driver's license, then populate forms with the resulting data. I'm using a special 'sample' Maryland driver's license for testing, but it conforms to the AAMVA standards for universal license data coding. The CVP provides an effective way for AAMVA members to determine if their driver's licenses and identification (DL/ID) cards and other motor vehicle administration documents using machine readable technologies conform to the applicable AAMVA standards and specifications. Just as compliance with these standards and specifications is voluntary.
Initially AAMVA’s role was to aid in the identification of individuals that were granted “the privilege to drive”; that is, the driver’s license. Over the decades though, higher demands were placed on the simple driver’s license that required better security and more consistent information content.
Illinois Drivers License Barcode Generator AAMVA strongly recommends that jurisdictions beginning new card design and production efforts base their work on the 2016 standard. The 2013 AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Standard, along with previous versions, will continue to be available since jurisdictions have cards in production that are based upon those specifications.
However I need to know what data types are these Data types denoting?
The complete documentation can be found at: http://www.dol.wa.gov/external/docs/barcodeCalibration-basic.pdf
Guessing here, but <field length>/ANS, where A is alphabetic, N numeric and S spaces?
For example, 3/A is 3 alphabetic characters like USA.
Funny that weight and sex are both 1/N, but the example given (2 in both cases) fits my hypothesis.

The Washington spec is based on the AAMVA standard here:http://www.aamva.org/DL-ID-Card-Design-Standard/
The 2013 ID Card Design Standard is here: http://www.aamva.org/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=4435
The PDF 417 barcode specifications start on page 51 (65) of that document. On page 58 (72) they list the type definitions: 'A=alpha A-Z, N=numeric 0-9, S=special, F=fixed length, V=variable length'
6 A/N means it is a 6 digit or spaced (A)lpha/(N)umeric variable. For example 5'7' could be expressed as a variable that would fit the format as '067 in' (quotation marks only enclosing the actual variable. Very common definition of terms usually found in Database programming. Your variable will always be 6 characters long (including the space character)--3 alpha ( in) and 3 numeric (067).
