I need help with a rule that support provided me.

I'm trying to get the zipcode from one database to look to an external
database and get the city name. I created the 2 rules suggested but I get
a blank response, and no errors...

Can someone help???
\

OnJobStart Rule:

Dir = new ExternalDataFileEx("\\Storage\storage\Aaron Storage\G\Gilmore
Avenue Car Wash\74507 Christmas in July 08\zipnov99.csv", "\t");

Text rule:

var y = Field("Zip"); //get the field value from the primary db
var x = Dir.FindRecord("ZIP_CODE", y); //searches the external database
//with that header and pulls out the record number when the value matches
var Value_1 = Dir.GetFieldValue(x, "PONAME"); //uses that record
//number to pull out the corresponding value for whichever field you need.
//Duplicate this for however many field you need.

return Value_1 ;


Thanks
