Add package number to container tags for letter size mail

AccuZIP Tray Tag with number of packages

If you would like the number of packages to appear on the tag of non-packaged-based presorts, you can follow the instructions below:

  • With your database open, pull down the Edit menu to Command
  • Create a new command and name it Change Presort To Packaged Based For Tags 

Paste the command below into the Command Statement Syntax area (but don't run the command yet):

com_alias=dbf()
lcFile = GETFILE("rpt", "Select a Table File", "Open", 0, "*.rpt")
SELECT 0    
USE (lcFile) ALIAS SelectedTable
replace all Gpb_ind with "P"
cPath=addbs(justpath(dbf()))
delete file cPath+"tags.txt"
delete file cPath+"presort.tag"
USE IN SelectedTable
select (com_alias)
  • Run your presort as normal.
  • Close the Print Presort window.
  • Pull down the Edit menu to Command and run the  Change Presort To Packaged Based For Tags command.
  • The command will prompt you for a *.rpt file, so navigate to the presort folder, and double-click the only file that appears, the presort.rpt file.
  • Close the command window, then pull down the File menu to Print Presort
  • With your presort open, print your tags.
