Ugh, nasty. Java is next decade's passe language. And C was last decade's passe language :) Meanwhile COBOL is alive and well and living in the hearts of all fortune 500 companies :) (Even Microsoft???)
Yes we wrote our own code. And I use the royal "we" my colleague in the next cell did it, so I'll ask him. -----Original Message----- From: sam.alan <sam.a...@zoominternet.net> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Tue, Nov 20, 2012 8:58 am Subject: Re: [U2] United States Postal Service - Intelligent Mail barcode Yes, they *want* to do this so they can continue to receive bulk mailing discounts. Did you write a UniBasic program to handle the encoding, or did you go another route such as using one of the USPS's Java or C encoding programs? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wjhonson" <wjhon...@aol.com> To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 9:29:59 AM Subject: Re: [U2] United States Postal Service - Intelligent Mail 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. -----Original Message----- From: sam.alan <sam.a...@zoominternet.net> To: u2-users <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Tue, Nov 20, 2012 5:38 am 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. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
