Read only SSCC from EAN-128 barcode

Read only SSCC from EAN-128 barcode

We have a Motorola barcode scanner with datawedge installed. We use
EAN-128 barcodes that contain only the SSCC. For GS1 compliance, the
barcode also contains the application identifier ("00") because it is a
SSCC (FNC code is included in the barcode). At the moment, when we scan a
barcode in a application, we get "00123456789123456789" (the "00" at the
beginning are the application identifier for the SSCC) which cannot be
processed by our application. We have to also support barcodes that are
not SSCCs but look very similar: "000000009123456789" The "00" at the
beginning are not applications identifiers (there is no FNC code in the
barcode).
Question: Can the Datawedge software be configured to only extract the
SSCC number -> "123456789123456789" without the application identifier
while still supporting non GS1 barcodes that have leading zeros?
