There used to be a version of a SELECT verb on the Rocket website. I think it 
was in the white papers or technical articles section. It provided source code 
to a verb called SELECTK I think it was called.

If anyone can find it, let me know. I haven't been able to find it after the 
first time I read it.

George:

How about something like:

3 Dev (0)-> LSELECT ?

This will create a list of {FileName} keys for records whose field
definition value appears in a defined list.

Syntax:
 LSELECT File_Name WITH Dict_Name IN LIST1 TO LIST2 [VERBOSE| -V]

Example: SELECT CUSTOMERS SAMPLE 500
SAVE.LIST MY.LIST
LSELECT SALES.ORDERS WITH CUST.NBR IN MY.LIST TO MY.LIST.2

Notes:
If a destination list is not supplied then keys will be left as the
active select list.  If a source list is not supplied then the current
active select list will be used.  Lists may be specified as select
buffers (0-8) or as named lists from SAVEDLISTS.

An example of this is as follows:

3 Dev (0)-> SELECT MASTER "260""605"

2 records selected to list 0.

3 Dev (0)-> SAVE-LIST MY.LIST
2 key(s) saved to 1 record(s).

3 Dev (0)-> LSELECT ARTMASTER WITH CLIENTNO IN MY.LIST VERBOSE (Parsed
Command) LSELECT ARTMASTER WITH CLIENTNO IN MY.LIST TO 0

(Selected List)
List Source MY.LIST found 2 items.

(Create Temp File)
LSELECT0031 file created with MOD = 5

(Loaded List to Temp File) - 2 items.

977 key(s) saved to 1 record(s).
(Selected Result List)
UDT.COMMAND = select ARTMASTER WITH EVAL
"TRANS('LSELECT0031',CLIENTNO,'@ID','X')" GT "" TO 0 UDT.RESPONSE =
?977 records selected to list 0.??
Destination 0
Named List 0

(Delete Temp File)
LSELECT0031 file deleted...

3 Dev (0)>>

This now has a list of (/*ARTMASTER*/) records that contain a client#
in the original select list, MY.LIST.

HTH,

Bill

Yes, I've received notices from the Postal Service (sent to our
non-profit group) stating that POSTNET will no longer be accepted
after the end of the year and IMb must be used for any automation
discounts.

I lied.
Evidently we use something called BulkMailer.  We pass it the information and 
it returns the ascii string, that then gets passed to our printer to make the 
barcode.

They don't *need* to :) they *want* to
Because you get a bulk mailer discount if you do, and you sort it, and its 500 
pieces or larger.
Something like that.  We just did it.
Personally they probably spent more to program it then they'll ever see in 
savings.  Ha.

Subject: [U2] United States Postal Service - Intelligent Mail barcode



We have a client that needs to print the United States Postal Service’s 
Intelligent Mail barcode (Imb) on their bills. 

The USPS has provided specifications for encoding the zip codes into the format 
needed to print the IMb. 
https://ribbs.usps.gov/intelligentmail_mailpieces/documents/tech_guides/SPUSPSG.pdf
 

(The encoding specifications begin in section 3.2, page 4.) 

The ideal solution would be for us to add a call from our UniBasic bill print 
program to a subroutine that performs the necessary steps to encode the zip 
codes into the IMb format. Has anyone already written a program that does the 
encoding? 

They are running UniData 6.0.12, SB+ 5.2.4 on Windows Server 2003.
