    David,

    For our site, we appear to use columns 7-10 on the POSTRC parameter to tell Mailstream where to find or put the Rate Classification information in the Name/Address file.  From reading the attached document it appears the data within that location is going from 13 bytes to 8 bytes, but I'm assuming that will be controlled by the Mailstream software correct?  For this case, does this version impact us as far as coding where to find the information? Has that change already been in place with previous versions?  One more question : For the ENT PT changes with removing column 58...is the data to the right have to be moved left 1 character?

    Sincerely,

    Derek W. Pollard(derek.pollard@omf.com)

    Derek,

    For our site, we appear to use columns 7-10 on the POSTRC parameter to tell Mailstream where to find or put the Rate Classification information in the Name/Address file.  From reading the attached document it appears the data within that location is going from 13 bytes to 8 bytes, but I'm assuming that will be controlled by the Mailstream software correct?  Yes

    For this case, does this version impact us as far as coding where to find the information? No

    Has that change already been in place with previous versions? No

    One more question : For the ENT PT changes with removing column 58...is the data to the right have to be moved left 1 character? No, I think the devs typically make removed parameters into reserved spaces so things don't get moved out of place.

    One more question:

    In the "Other Changes" section of the above document --- there is a statement that says "Support for 1st Class Letters and Card in the same presort."  We currently do them seperately....how would this be accomplished?

    I expect that would mean additional parameters/options will be added to accomplish this. I don't currently have more specifics, you'll have to wait for the Release Notes for more details.
