Add NDC field and data to your database

If you want to add an NDC field to your database and populate it with the 3 digit NDC ZIP based on your 5-digit ZIP Code, then open your database, pull down the Edit menu to Command, and run this command:

* Suppress Messages ON ERROR com_Mesg=MESSAGE() * Add NDC column ALTER TABLE (ALIAS()) ADD COLUMN ndc(3) * Add NDC number REPLACE ALL ndc WITH substr(GetLineValue(ADDBS(xDefFldr)+"iPresort\DMM\AZL601.txt",INT(VAL(LEFT(zip,3))),67,.T.,.T.),9,3)

* Suppress Messages
ON ERROR com_Mesg=MESSAGE()

* Add NDC column
ALTER TABLE (ALIAS()) ADD COLUMN ndc(3)

* Add NDC number
REPLACE ALL ndc WITH substr(GetLineValue(ADDBS(xDefFldr)+"iPresort\DMM\AZL601.txt",INT(VAL(LEFT(zip,3))),67,.T.,.T.),9,3)

The [Merge Fields feature]...saved me hours of having to do a bunch of manual address corrections in an updated database, that I already had done months ago on my original database. What a relief. Certainly Rolaids can't top this.
