Create a CSV of your Data Structure with field lengths

Download and unzip the seqstructure.zip file into the root level of the AccuZIP6 5.0 folder.

Open any database and run the following command to create a Comma Separated file of the Database Structure with the Start-Stop Character Positions for each field in the database:

=SeqStructure(DBF())

You can also add one or two more parameters to output a different file type (other than CSV) and certain field names. This outputs the result to Fixed Length.

=SeqStructure(DBF(),"TYPE SDF")

Change to TAB using: TYPE DELIMITED WITH TAB

=SeqStructure(DBF(),"TYPE DELIMITED WITH TAB")

The third parameter can control which field attributes get output:

  • These are all the possible output field attributes
  • You can remove which ever fields you want, and the preceding comma
=SeqStructure(DBF(),"TYPE SDF"," FIELDS field_name,field_type,field_len,start,end")

We have been using the AccuZIP software for over seven years now. I believe that being an AccuZIP customer is one of the reasons for our success. Every time a question has arose, AccuZIP answered it completely and competently. When the post office did not have an answer for us AccuZIP did. If there was ever any conflicting info between the Post Office and AccuZIP, our AccuZIP customer service rep was always correct. We have experienced only excellent customer service. Let me make that clear not good customer service, excellent customer service.
