Zip Code (Z)
NOTE: Changing a zipcode on this screen will affect ALL addresses on file containing that zipcode. These files include Customer, Employee, Names, & Vendor files.

Enter the zip code without the extension.

In some cases, two cities share the same zip code. Use the zip code as normal for one of the cities. For the other city, attach a period (.) to the end of the zip code to make it unique. For example, use 17538 for Landisville PA, and use 17538. for Salunga PA. You could also use a comma if there would be three cities sharing the same zip code.

For foreign addresses other than Canada, precede the zip code with an open-bracket ([) and that country's two-character code. (See Foreign Mailing Codes in your manual). The open-bracket tells the computer it is a foreign zip code. When the address is printed, the computer removes the first three characters of the zip code if it contains seven or more characters. Example: Zacatecas, Mexico 98000, your code should be [MX98000.

Some foreign countries have no zip codes. If the country has no zip code, use up to six characters to make a code for each city. Begin the code with an open-bracket ([) and the two-character code for that country. Add up to three characters to make the code unique for that city. You could use the first three letters of the city name. When the address is printed, the computer will not print the zip code if it contains six or less characters.

Example: Cali-Valle, Colombia, South America, your code could be [CBCAL.

This field is also used for sorting bulk mailings when you run Report # 6-10, SORTED MAILING LABELS.

To sort zip codes by state, enter the first three digits of the first zip code for that state followed by a #. Enter the last zip code for that state in the Section End field.

To sort zip codes by section, enter the first three digits of the first zip code for that section followed by a $. Enter the last zip code for that section in the Section End field.

To sort by city, enter the first five-digit zip code for that city here. Enter the last zip code for that city in the Section End field.

For the Zip Code file to be compatible with the (optional) Shipping Module, zip codes must be set up as follows:

U.S. zip codes must begin with a number from 0 - 9.

Canadian zip codes must begin with a letter from A - Z.

Zip codes starting with a [ followed by a two-digit code are for foreign addresses other than Canada.

For the shipping program to calculate freight properly, the two-digit codes must be set up as found in Foreign Mailing Codes in your manual.
