There appears to be a missing custom function that is required for this to work.
This line from the Let function shows a custom function "#Dict2Var" being used:
_set = If ( Length(_options) ; #Dict2Var ( _options ; "" ) ) ;

Problem is that there is no custom function by that name on this site.

Kyle Williams, et al.,

I was able to track down the missing '#Dict2Var' custom function in a demo file available for download on Thomas Seidler's "harmlesswise.com" site.

Several other useful functions in that demo file. Perhaps Mr. Seidler will so kind as to upload them to this site and/or GitHub...

Meanwhile, the direct uri is: http://www.harmlesswise.com/0906-filemaker-python-dictionary-list-functions#2.1

thanks Kyle for your patience! Apologies for not uploading other functions, they are part of too wide a spread, and I assume most folk wanting SVG barcodes may already have their own preferred approach to handling multiple named parameters/dictionaries/keyed arrays. I've updated code in place, as I note I had not commented out my custom function properly.
