Canadian Postal Codes in Numbers

Hi,
I am trying to format a column on a spreadsheet so that all of the postal codes are in the same format.
I think I would do something like:
=PROPER((LEFT(A1,3),MID( ),PROPER(RIGHT(A1,3))
but i keep getting a syntax error.
I would like the postal codes to read A1A 1A1
Any thoughts on what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance!!

What is missing from this solution?
This, perhaps:
=UPPER(left(A1,3)&" "&right(A1,3))
HYllom's use of PROPER in the question implies some entries may not include the required capitalization. With Canadian postal codes, where a letter always either leads the string or follows a numeral, either PROPER or UPPER will ensure that all letters display as capitals. With other systems (eg. Britain) where many post codes contain two consecutive letters, PROPER will convert only the first (or the first following each numeral) to capitals, while UPPER will convert all letters.
Note that in either case, the conversion is 'display only,' the underlying text remains unchanged.

I Can't make the Geocoder handle Canadian Postal Code properly

Hi !
Does any one out there was able to approprietly setup Oracle Geocoder to properly return canadian postal code for a specific address in a dense urban area ?
In Canada, a single street segment can have two different post codes when located in dense urban areas such as Montreal. One on the left and one the right... so one for odds number and one for even numbers.
I don't see how to acheive this in the actual Oracle Geocoder table structure.
I see two solutions to my problem. In order to appropriatly return a canadian post code for a specific address, Oracle would need to
(1) have the GC_ROAD_SEGMENT_CA table have a L_POSTAL_CODE AND A R_POSTAL_CODE field. Thus returning the good postal code knowing if the house_number is odd or even.
OR
(2) have the GC_ADDRESS_POINT table have a POSTAL_CODE field allowing to directly return the postal code associated with an address.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

Hello,
subscriber := sys.aq$_agent('sender', '[email protected]', NULL);
should be
subscriber := sys.aq$_agent('reciver', '[email protected]', NULL);
With your enqueue code the message is being made available for any default subscribers. As it stands the message will be propagated to the target queue and made available for the consumer sender.
So if you change your dequeue code to
dequeue_options.consumer_name := 'SENDER';
it will consume the message that has been propagated.
Thanks

Hen verifying my billing information it will not give me the option to select a Canadian postal code.

While trying to purchase an app from the app store it directs me to verifying my billing information and after entering all the inforamtion when I get to entering my address it does not give me the option to select a Canadian postal code or province. Please help. Thanks

This is a huge pain in the ***! Don't these clowns know their product is also sold outside the usa?

Entering Canadian postal code - changes it to a number

When I enter the first part of my postal code M4J into a form - safari changes it to 4-1. I can't find any preference settings that would cause it to do so, but this has happened twice on two different web forms. Any ideas as to how I can get it to recognize the Alphanumeric postal code.

one rumor I have heard is that if you take the postal code off your card in address book, it will allow you to correctly fill in your code manually. I don't have a canadian postal code, so I can't verify this myself.

Power Map Locations for Canadian Postal Codes showing incorrectly

I see great potential in the possibilities of using Power Map. However the location for one Canadian postal code is showing incorrectly on the resulting map. I have verified that the postal code itself is correct and my data has been entered correctly and
it is below:
N6K 0B3
It is showing nowhere near where it is supposed to be. Users of the application have to have confidence that the mapping behind it is correct. I need to create maps for each poll for volunteers to retrieve
the signs post-election and don't want to send them to the wrong locations.
By the way, why is my font size changing if I modify the text in my post?
Thanks,
Lila

Ahh Geolocations are fun, aren't they!
Bing maps is showing N6K 0B3 as just south west of London, ON. Google maps shows it north of there, West of London. If Bing is not correct, you'd need to request a fix from Bing/Microsoft.
While you wait for that, you'd have to create your own kludge to correct it:
CASE WHEN postcode = 'N6K 0B3' THEN geography::Point(-81.437296,43.0041629,4326) ELSE bingsGeospatial as geoPoint
I was in talks with Canada Post regarding acquiring their geo location data for post codes a while ago. You can get a product from them for about 7500 a year. I was rather disappointed to find they only provided points, and not bounding boxes (as google
maps does).

Validation of Canadian Postal Codes

Canadian postal codes follow the A9A 9A9 format.
In my display validation pattern, I have text{A9A 9A9}
In my edit validation pattern, I have text{A9A 9A9}|text{A9A9A9}
In my validation pattern, I have text{A9A 9A9}
I also have a JavaScript validation running client side.
It reads:
form1.#subform[0].Section1.PostalCode::validate - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase();
Given these paramaters, I am stumped as to why I keep getting the following validation error: "The value you entered for Postal Code in valid."
Any thoughts?

Your uppercase code should be on the exit event of the field. The validation pattern works by testing against the display pattern.
Or you could put xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase(); on the change event of the field.

Canadian Postal Code problem with Autofill

I have 2 problems with my Postal Code when filling out a form with Safari.
1. It fills it out with zeroes and dashes
2. Often the box cannot be filled in manually as it reverts to the zeroes and dashes.
Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Yes, the Canadian Postal Code ought to be displayed correctly if the site provider has made provision for it. Auto-fill retains past site information. Go to your Safari Preferences>Autofill and select the "edit" box next to "Other Forms". There you can remove the entire file, or do it selectively by highlighting on the specific sites. Quit Safari.
Then go back to your Address Book and enter your postal code again. Restart Safari and try some of the Canadian postal code compliant sites.
As far as the non-Canadian postal, don't know what to say. It either works or not. Perhaps, removing the old information and starting over might make a difference.

Canadian postal code help

hey
i want a canadian postal code that have 0 tax
i don't want to be taxed
thanks

Apple isn't here. Apple doesn't answer questions here. The only postal code that you may use is the postal code for your legal residence or the billing address of the credit card that you use if different from your address.

New Canadian Postal Code

There is a new postal code in Canada that is not yet showing up on Bing Maps. Can the new postal code for LEVIS, QC G6W 0M4 be added to Bing Maps geo-location
information, please? Thank you.

I have verified that this is a new postal code and have sent this to our data providers to have it added to Bing Maps.

Canadian postal code not taking in web forms

Seems like Safari changes a postal code entry like N1C to 1-1 and will not allow me to edit the 1-1. Any ideas?

Hi Mark
I see the problem. The zip field is designed to accept only 5 characters. Tried it on Firefox too with the same result.
I believe Canada codes are at least 6 characters. Did Safari return an error when you sent the "contact us" info, while Firefox did not? If so, Firefox would have accepted the alpha characters, Safari not.
If that's the case, coding errors exist on the site which Safari would not accommodate, but Firefox probably would - it's much more forgiving with this type of poor coding.
Anyhow, good lesson in using another browser when rendering difficulties happen with Safari.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Canadian Postal Code rejected.

When requested to enter my Postal Code, system will not allow entry of the code. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've never had a problem entering my postal code on any website I've been to.
However, sometimes you must enter them without a space. Sometimes the space is necessary. It depends entirely on the form that you're filling out.
Ex: A1A 1A1 needs to be entered as A1A1A1.
Provide a link and I will try mine.

How do I validate a postal code format?

I am trying to use actionscript check a string to see if it
is in a valid Canadian postal code <b>format</b> (ie.
M5R1X2).
The format is 6 characters and is always
Letter,Number,Letter,Number,Letter,Number.
Can anyone help me check each character in a string to see it
they are numbers or letters?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

checkPCode = function () {
var st:String = arguments[0];
if (arguments[0].length == 6) {
for (var i = 0; i<arguments[0].length; i++) {
t = st.charAt(i);
switchCheck = (i%2 != 0) ? "Even" : "Odd";
if ("Odd" == switchCheck) {
detect = isNaN(t);
} else {
detect = (isNaN(t) == false);
if (!detect) {
break;
return detect;
} else {
return false;
trace(checkPCode("A3M5T3T"));//correct format and incorrect
length
trace(checkPCode("A3M5T3"));//correct format and correct
length
trace(checkPCode("A335T3"));//incorrect format and correct
length

Postal Code Verrification Format

Just wondering if anyone knows how to write a script to bring back anything that is NOT in the following format

(# = any number 0-9)
(A = an letter in the alphabet)

Hi,
In Oracle 10 (and up):
WHERE     NOT REGEXP_LIKE ( txt
                   , '^([[:digit:]][[:alpha:]]){3}$'
               )In any version of Oracle:
WHERE     TRANSLATE ( UPPER (txt)
            , '012345678BCDEDGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
            , '999999999AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
            ) = '9A9A9A'Just curious; where is this system used? Canada has just the reverse, letter first. (E.g., Santa Claus's Canadian postal code is 'H0H0H0'.)

Trying to set download apps...says it needs my credit card info...I put it in....but then it won't take it because it says I need to enter my zip code. I live in Canada and have a postal code, not a zip code. Help

I am trying to set up my new Iphone 4 and download apps. I made an Apple Id which is all good. But when I try and enter in my credit card info it keeps asking for my Zip code and state. I live in Canada not US. I changed the phone to Canadian but it still keeps asking for it and won't let me put in my right information which in turn won't let me download any apps. Can anyone help?

Postal & Zip codes are same. Just enter postal code without space. It will accept.
