Presort only records in specific SCF areas

The following step by step instructions will help you search for a specific SCF in your database, then presort only those records.

Open your database.

Pull down the Edit menu and choose Command.

Create a new command, and name it “Add SCF Field”

Paste the following command into the Command Statement Syntax box:

* Suppress Messages
ON ERROR com_Mesg=MESSAGE()

* Add SCF column
ALTER TABLE (ALIAS()) ADD COLUMN scf C(3)

* Add SCF number
REPLACE ALL scf WITH substr(GetLineValue(ADDBS(xDefFldr)+"iPresort\DMM\AZL002C.txt",INT(VAL(LEFT(zip,3))),67,.T.,.T.),9,3)

Click Run.

Close the Command window.

Click on the Look In pull down menu. Choose the SCF field.

Type in the SCF 3 digit ZIP (such as 320).

Look In pull down menu of AccuZIP6

Now you’ll have just the records displayed that are in your SCF.

With that selection on your screen, pull down the Sort menu and choose Presort Mail.

In the Presort Setup window, make sure you choose your SCF chart for these SCF records.

Make sure all your other settings are correct, and you’re ready to presort.

I wanted to take a minute to write accolades for your employee Eric Lambeth. I have been calling on Eric for training and help in the Accuzip software since May and I want you to know that from a client standpoint, he is second to none! Eric has gone way above and beyond in helping me learn and navigate your software as well as helping us through some crazy situations we have encountered. It is clearly evident that he knows this software inside and out. It is also evident that Eric loves the customer and is willing to do whatever it takes to help – he has even answered emails and called me on the weekend to help through some stuff I was unsure of! I cannot express enough how wonderful Eric has been for our organization. I will tell you that I came to this organization with a background in BCC software with plans to transition to BCC software. Eric’s knowledge, guidance, training, and willingness to help at all hours of the day/week has sold me on Accuzip! Your software solution is more user friendly and the support staff far exceeds BCC! I am also looking forward to investigating your other software solutions.
