ZIP-code grouping

I'm merging a database in to InDesign containing a 5-digit ZIP-code. The five digits are in a row (12345) but I want them grouped like 123 45, with a space between the third and fourth digit. Is there a way to do this automaticly?

When you say "merging a database in to InDesign", are you using the Data Merge feature of InDesign, or are you placing the Excel text into InDesign using either File/Place; or cutting and pasting from Excel to InDesign. If placing/pasting, I would use a GREP search. If using Data Merge, merge to a new document and again use a GREP based solution, unless you are merging directly to a PDF, and in that case I'm not sure how to do this besides manipulating the original data.

FI-AP (vendor master group, Zip code required field)

Hello SAP Guru's,
I am working on Vendor master data groups and my client asked me to make the zip code field mandatory. When i go to "define account groups with screen layout- vendor name-general data- address, i don't see a tab for Zip code to make it a required field. However, i checked Postal code, city field and make it into a required field. Is zip code = Postal code, city? or do i have to contact other programmers so they can design this functionality in SAP?

Dear,
yes, I also confirm You that the Zip code is the Postal code.
So please go to IMG --> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)
and for Your Account Group do the following setting:
double click on General data --> double click on Address
and define as Required entry the field Postal code, city technical names:
City LFA1-ORT01
Postal Code LFA1-PSTLZ
I hope this helps You.

Segmentation on basis of Zip code

Hi,
i am trying to create segmentation using Zip code. iam creating a Z infoset by joining tables using base table BUT000 and field Post_code1 from table ADRC . infoset is created sucessfully but when i create profile & target group .it shows no bp with any filter.
Is this the only way to create segmentation on basis of Zip code.
any inputs will be help full.
Regards
Rajiv sharma

Hi Rajiv,
The ZIP code ( technical field:- POST_CODE1, Table:- ADDR2_DATA ) is basically a field of data type CHAR of size 10.
So in segmentation when you try to create a filter with Equal to say zip code 12345 it basically tries to compare the integer value 12345 with a character 12345 and thus this does not give exact result.
Did u try creating filer with "Contains Pattern". and see if it works.
rgrds,

How do I display an invalid zip code in a summary table

On my airshow website we have a feedback form, one of the questions is the zipcode where the visitor came from. This works fine. The summary results tab includes a lookup for the zipcode where I show the city associated with the zipcode and then how many responses came from that zipcode. This can be seen here http://www.hollisterairshow.com/feedback-results.php?tab=7
In testing, I found that an invalid zipcode is not displayed in the summary table, although it is counted in the total number of responses. I'd like to display the invalid zipcode and leave the City blank, or maybe put "Invalid zip code". The current code is displayed below, it's beyond my ability to figure out how I should change it to display invalid zipcodes and I'd really appreciate some direction on this.
I know I could validate the zipcode on entry but it's quite possible the zipcode table I have is out of date and i can't find a free downloadable list, so I'm thinking anything invalid could cause me to update my table.which is fine.
Thanks for any assistance.
Tony
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">
<?php
// Make a MySQL Connection
$query = "SELECT feedback.zip, COUNT(feedback.zip), zipcodes.citystate FROM feedback, zipcodes WHERE feedback.zip = zipcodes.zipcode GROUP BY feedback.zip";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// Print out result
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
echo $row['zip']. " ". $row['COUNT(feedback.zip)']. " ". $row['citystate'];
echo "<br />";
?>
</div>

Use an outer join on the two tables so that results are returned for all feedback rows, instead of just matching rows. The column zipcodes.citystate will be NULL. In your recordset output, you can test for null in the column and populate it with "Invalid Zipcode" if you want.
You'll need to move the join to the FROM clause as I believe that MySQL does not support outer joins in the WHERE clause like most other DBMS's.

Leading Zeros in Zip Code

I frequently export address information from a database to a tab-delimited text file and then import it into Numbers. However, some zip codes have leading zeros (i.e., "00644"). When I import this file into Numbers the zip codes with leading zeros lose their zeros (i.e., the field looks like ... "644").
If I format the field after the import as "Text," it doesn't resolve the problem.
How do I retain these zeros?

ZIP code format for each country in SAP

Please provide me the way to retrieve ZIP code format for each country in SAP.....

Well Yash
You might have noticed the checking rules in the same place. They are the ones which is used for checking formats. I don't know which internal table (I doubt if there is one) holds the format data per country. There are formal format checks for few specific countries like Canada, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, South Korea, and Portugal and I guess they are hardcoded. Another thought is that Regional Structure Group related tables may hold this.
If you have ABAPer by your side, check out Function module POSTAL_CODE_CHECK which is used in conjunction with the checking rules mentioned. This may provide you some clues.
I am wondering why you need this info.
If you need to set up your own config in Address Management than what is supplied in the standard, then use the following path:
SPRO/IMG/SAP NetWeaver/Application Server/Basis Services/Address Management
Also go through the following OSS notes:
1123588 - Postal code check for different countries
1381564 - Postal codes

Print Campaign letters sorted by ZIP code

Hello SDN,
we want to print out the letters of a Campaign soted by the ZIP Code. We have 6000 Business Partners in our Target Group. If we not print them sorted by ZIP Code we had to pay 0.45 Euro per letter. If we print them sorted by ZIP Code it costs us only 0.25 Euro. That are 1200 Euro in total.
Is there a BAdI or Customizing which we can set up to get the output sorted by ZIP Code? I found no setting for our communication channel "Letter with Activity creation".
Best regards
Gregor

Hello Christoph,
the print is done through a Campaign Channel. It uses a stripped down Version of smartforms build in transaction CRMD_EMAIL. There is no BAdI which I could use to influence the sorting when the printing is started during Campaign execution.

Gregor

Sorting addresses by zip code

In order to do bulk mailing I need to sort addresses by zip code. I love the smart group feature, is there a way to organize groups by zip code. Thanks, Mary

Select the items in a given group. Select Print from AB's File menu. In the dialog select Labels or Envelopes from the Style drop down menu. Click on the Label tab. You can now select Postal Code for sort order. The result may be printed to a PDF file if desired rather than to the printer, but if you plan to use labels you will need to select the appropriate type of label paper layout you will be feeding into your printer.
Alternatively, you can export the data to a .CSV file using an exporter utility (look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate) then import the data into another application such as Excel or Word where they can be sorted and mail-merged.

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.

Firefox will not allow me to change the zip code on the Walmart website.

When I follow a link to Walmart it automatically puts in an incorrect My Store location and zip code. I change it, close Firefox, re-open and try again. Same thing. It does not do that with other browsers. I have removed cookies several times, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but nothing seems to work.

Details like this are stored in a cookie.
Try to "Remove Cookies" Walmart cookies and check that they are still gone after closing and restarting Firefox:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Also make sure to close all tabs with the Walmart site to prevent Firefox from storing them in the sessionstore.js file as part of session data.
It is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clearing cookies doesn't work.
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Deleting+cookies
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

No longer get a Signal. My zip code is 32421 in NW Florida

My zip code is 32421 in NW Florida, Just about the middle of the map, just below Interstate 10. I have been with Verizon since it took a portion of ALLTEL, was with Alltel since they took over another company and was with that company when they took over one. I have not personally changed providers in at least 15 years or more. My problem now is that my signal strength has become almost nonexistent where I have always been all these years. It seems like the fall of 2013 I had good signal but it started dropping. I finally change from a Motorola Maxx (I think it was) and now my wife has a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I have the S4. The other 2 phones on our contract (grandkids) both Apple 4's have the same problem. My son and his wife, who live next door and with Verizon also have the same problem and timeline. It is like a tower(s) have been out of commission for a while. My phone roams at times while in the house. If I have my phone set to announce when it loses the network or regains the network, it became to irritating to have to hear it. At one point we could almost use our cell phones exclusively at home. Now we are bound to landlines. I've never had any problem with Verizon but have become quite upset during the last 6 months to the point of trying something different when our contract expires. We are no longer getting the service we were getting with earlier contracts. Please help. Tell us what we can do or what Verizon is going to do to check this out.

The signal is ever so slightly higher outside as would be expected, but still not high enough, often enough to be depended on. In fact it is more prone to roam when stepping out of the house than inside. I have to drive several miles Northwest (approximately 7 miles) towards the intersection of Interstate 10 and SR 71 in the panhandle of Florida, just south of the town, Marianna. When heading east on SR 286 from SR69, through the Ochessee area to I-10 and then heading east for about 10 miles from the Apalachicola River are several dropout areas of low to no signal, but since we're moving it is for a very brief period of time. Getting back to my house though, the service that I had as late as last summer, both inside and out, has significantly declined. Just based on my driving from my house, it seems that a tower North of me has dropped. You can find these roads on Google maps, in fact you can find them by zooming in on the Verizon Coverage map, find Tallahassee in North Florida and follow Interstate 10 to the west for about 50 miles. The problem seems to be from SR 286 to SR 69 then to SR71. Along a stretch about 17 miles south of Interstate 10 in between these 3 intersections is where the problem seem most prevalent.
I'm not sure what you meant by follow and send a private message. The only option I see for me is "Reply". Please excuse my ignorance.

Retrieve city and state from zip code that is entered by user

I am trying to use AJAX to retrieve city and state from a table based on a zip code that is entered by the user. Two are text fields (zip code and city) and one is a SELECT field (state).
1. I defined an application item called TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM.
2. I defined an application process called SET_CITY_STATE as follows:
    a. Process point: on demand
    b. type: anonymous block
    c. process text:
<pre>
DECLARE
v_city VARCHAR2 (100);
v_state VARCHAR2 (2);
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT city, state
FROM ZIP
WHERE zip = v ('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM');
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_city := c.city;
v_state := c.state;
END LOOP;
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_CO_CITY',v_city);
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_CO_STATE',v_state);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_CITY','Unknown city');
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_STATE',null);
END;
</pre>
3. Javascript is defined in the region header:
<pre>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
</pre>
4. In the HTML Form Element Attributes of the P2_CO_ZIP text item: onchange="pull_city_state(this.value)";
The city and state are not being populated. I checked the select statement and it is retreiving the city and state in SQL WORKSHOP > SQL COMMANDS.
I would like to use it for the mailing address as well, so I would need to make the application process / javascript a bit more generic to be used in two places.
I placed the application on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace: RGWORK
Application: Online Certification Application (28022)
Can someone assists, please.
Thank you,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Try using XML instead of session state -
Change the application on demand process with the following script -
>
DECLARE
v_city VARCHAR2 (100);
v_state VARCHAR2 (2);
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT city, state
FROM ZIP
WHERE zip = v ('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM');
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_city := c.city;
v_state := c.state;
END LOOP;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_CO_CITY">' || v_city || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_CO_STATE">' || v_state || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_CITY">' || 'Unknown city' || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_STATE">' || '' || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
END;
>
in your javascript make sure you typing the application process name correctly as it is case sensitive.
Hope this helps,
