Export endorse info on first and last piece of container

If you would like to only print the optional endorsement line on the first and last piece in a tray or sack (or just the first or the last), follow the instructions below.

  • Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\iPresort\INI Defaults and open Advancedsettings.ini in Notepad or something equivalent. If this file doesn't exist, create this file and make sure it has an .ini extension.
  • Paste this into the advancedsettings.ini file, then close the file and click Yes to save changes:
******************************************
*!* Tray and Package Mark
*!* 0= OR 1= Normal
*!* 2=Last
*!* 3=First and Last
[MISC]
PALLET MARK=
CONTAINER MARK=3
PACKAGE MARK=

  • Presort the list as normal
  • From the Print Presort window, click Print Labels
  • In Print Settings select Disk File from the Output drop-down option in the upper-left corner of the screen
  • In the Export Setup window, choose your export map or add the fields that you wish to export
  • After selecting the Endorse field, put this expression into the Expression column of the Endorse row.
IIF(!EMPTY(traymark_),PADL(ALLT(Endorse),30,"*"),SPACE(30))


If you want to export the container number and bundle number on the same line as the endorsement info, use this expression:

IIF(!EMPTY(traymark_),ALLT(PADL(TRANSFORM(VAL(cont_id)),3," "))+"*"+ALLT(PADL(TRANSFORM(VAL(gpb_id)),3," "))+PADL(ALLT(Endorse),30,"*"),SPACE(40))

  • Choose your export format, then click Export. Give the file a name, decide where you want to save it, then click Save.

I Just wanted to let you know we are in the Postal Fort Worth Texas Division and I received a call from someone in their office today wanting to ask me some questions. He asked if I understood about the changes with the move update starting for this month, then he asked me what software we were using. I explained to him that we have been using AccuZIP Software for the last 20 years and I thought you were the #1 in the United States. I told him that you were the only software displayed in the Postal Section of the Smithsonian Institute. He asked me if I had to manually change the updated addresses and I told him no that the Software did it for us and I could print a report showing the old address and the new address. He told me out of 32,000 names that were updated only 3 were wrong and he just wanted to call me to see what Software we were using. Thanks for such good software and support from your company over the past 20 years.
