Zip Code Is Appended To All Address Lines In Patron Printouts

Problem Symptoms:

Zip code is appended to all address lines in patron printouts

Cause:
Empty Space in patron address lines causes zip code data to be appended per settings in XXX01/form_lng/global.trn
 

Resolution:

1. Make a backup of XXX01/form_lng/global.trn
2. Add the following lines to XXX01/form_lng/global.trn:

z302-address-0 AP-ZIP-CAN S z302-zip z302-address-1 z302-address-2 z302-address-3 z302-address-4
z302-address-1 AP-ZIP-CAN S z302-zip z302-address-2 z302-address-3 z302-address-4
z302-address-2 AP-ZIP-CAN S z302-zip z302-address-3 z302-address-4
z302-address-3 AP-ZIP-CAN S z302-zip z302-address-4
z302-address-4 AP-ZIP-CAN S z302-zip
z302-zip TO-BLANK S

z304-address-0 AP-ZIP-CAN S z304-zip z304-address-1 z304-address-2 z304-address-3 z304-address-4
z304-address-1 AP-ZIP-CAN S z304-zip z304-address-2 z304-address-3 z304-address-4
z304-address-2 AP-ZIP-CAN S z304-zip z304-address-3 z304-address-4
z304-address-3 AP-ZIP-CAN S z304-zip z304-address-4
z304-address-4 AP-ZIP-CAN S z304-zip
z304-zip TO-BLANK S

After adding the above lines, the zip code will be appended only to the last line of a patron address

Additional Information

The ZIP code are 3 format:
AP-ZIP,AP-ZIP-USA and AP-ZIP-CAN

From the Syslib Guide - Printing part:

AP-ZIP – This routine is used to append the zip code to the displayed address. The
translate routine receives two parameters. The first is the zip code that is to be
appended to the formatted tag, and the second is the condition field. Only if the
condition field is empty will the zip code (in the first parameter) be added to the
formatted tag.

AP-ZIP-USA – This routine is similar to AP-ZIP. The only difference is that the ZIP
code is also formatted in USA format, that is, the first five characters are separated
from the rest by a hyphen (xxxxx-yyy).

AP-ZIP-CAN – This routine is similar to AP-ZIP. The only difference is that the ZIP
code is also formatted in Canadian format, that is, the first three characters are
separated from the rest by a space (xxx yyy).
