I used one of the sample templates and modified it for our use. Still don't quite understand the vertical rules function of the specification document, but got it to work anyway.
I think my last hurdle is formating of mailing addresses. For many years I have had an internal convention that Address 3 is always the CITY and Address 4 is always the STATE (in two character abbreviations ie CA AZ NY).
I modified the billing address so that I would get the following:
Customer Name
Address_1
Address_2
Address_3 Address_4_(two characters only) Zip
This works OK but only if there is both an address 1 and address 2 in the customer record. If address 2 is blank (most of mine are), then Adagio apparently "snakes" the fields so that I get something like this:
Customer Name
Address 1
Address_3_City
Address_4_State Zip
The original sample specification had
Customer Name
Address 1
Address 2
Address 3
Address 4
Zip
Is there a work around? For those that used Accpac spec documents, my spec read as follows:
.H@7%C2
.H@7%B1
.H@7%B2
.H@7%B3 @<== %B5 @<== %B4
Thanks,
