AccuZIP6 Field Names and Descriptions

AccuZIP6 creates fields to store data as you process the list. Some of the fields are required. In other words, they must exist to perform certain processes within the program. Others may only be required for certain types of mail processing. For instance, when a Periodical Mailer is trying to track subscribers and non-subscribers, the program requires the user to store this data in a Logical field named subscribe_. Then, when the program presorts the mail, the Postage Statement will display the correct data. Optional Fields also exist for users to store data in. The following table explains the purpose of every field that AccuZIP6 uses to process data.
