ADRES - A PROGRAM FOR HANDLING ADDRESS FILES
.skip
BY JACOB PALME
.skip
ABSTRACT:
.fill;.left margin 5
.skip
The ADRES program is suitable for handling small address
registers with between 10 and 2000 addresses. The program
runs on a DECsystem-10 computer.
.skip
The program contains facilities for reformatting the addresses
to fit any kind of adhesive labels, with any number of labels
across the width of the form. Labels can be printed on a line
printer or on a typewriter terminal.
.skip
There are also facilities for selecting certain labels from
an address file using Boolean search conditions like
"SWEDEN+DENMARK_&COPENHAGEN". There is a field in each
address for storing information which is not to be printed
on the labels, e.g_. an interest profile to be used in
the selection.
.skip
Addresses can be sorted on any line in the address.
.skip
The program can easily, without reprogramming,
be made to fit a new task, e.g_. a new way of
selecting addresses for distributions.
.ifnot english
.skip
As an appendix is included an example of how you write to the swedish
DATAINSPEKTIONEN to apply for the right to use an address register.

SWEDISH ABSTRACT:
.skip
ADRES-programmet {r l{mpligt f`r hantering av sm} adressregister
p} mellan 10 och 2000 adresser. Programmet k`rs p, en DEC-system-10
dator, men {r skrivet i SIMULA och konverterbart till annan dator.
.skip
Programmet kan formattera om adresserna f`r att passa varje typ
av adressetiketter med en eller flera etiketter i bredd p}
etikettarken. Etiketterna kan skrivas ut p} radskrivare eller
skrivmaskinsterminal.
.skip
Programmet g`r det m`jligt att med Booleska s`kformler av typen
"SVERIGE+DANMARK_&K@PENHAMN" v{lja vissa adresser. Varje adress
har ett f{lt av variabel l{ngd som inte skrivs ut vid utskrift,
och d{r t.ex. en intresseprofil kan lagras.
.skip
Adresserna kan sorteras.
.skip
Programmet kan l{tt, utan omprogrammering, f}s att passa en
ny uppgift, t.ex_. en ny metod att v{lja ut adresser.

FORMAT OF ADDRESS FILE
.skip
The input file to ADRES is normally
an address file consisting of one record for each address.
The records are separated by FORM FEED characters.
Each address can contain up to 16 lines, separated by
CARRIAGE RETURN + LINE FEED.
IMPORTANT: The input records should not contain any TAB characters.
.skip
The number of lines in an input record need #n#o#t# be
the same as the number of lines on the adhesive labels.
The ADRES program will automatically reformat the input
addresses to fit any kind of adhesive label.
.skip
The first line (immediately after the FORM FEED)
in each address can contain special information which you
do not want to print on the adhesive labels, e.g_.
an interest profile or internal information.

.endif help

.p -5,1,10
.endif help
INSERTION, REMOVAL AND UPDATING OF ADDRESSES
.skip
The ADRES package contains no program to correct
individual addresses or to insert or delete
addresses, since this kind of updating is easy to do
with a text editor such as TECO or SOS or EDITS.
.skip
Example: You first find the adresses to be updated with
a search command across pages (such as the N command of TECO)
and then correct it or remove it (e.g_. with the Y command of TECO).
.skip
Do not forget to insert a FORM FEED in front of new addresses added
to the file.
.ifnot help
.skip
At the QZ computing center in Stockholm, you can order forms with adhesive
labels in a format suitable for GNT, Terminet and
similar terminals, from the computer centre.

OUTPUT ON ADHESIVE LABELS
.skip
Unless you specify otherwise, the output from ADRES is prepared in
a format suitable for direct printing on adhesive labels.
.skip
Each address is reformatted to fit into a given label size, with
given number of lines and given number of characters per line.
.skip
You can choose the number of labels from left to right
in the output, and the spacing between the labels.
.skip
The algorithm for fitting an address into a label accepts
addresses with too many lines, too few lines,
too long lines or too short lines, and tries to
get a neat label. This works better if the input file
has many short lines than few long lines.
.skip
The input address is never shortened. If it is too large,
an error message is given on the terminal, and this address
is not output.

INSERTING LABEL FORMS INTO A TERMINAL
.skip
When you have processed your address file with ADRES to get
a .LAB file, you can insert a form with adhesive labels into
a terminal (e.g. a GNT terminal). First type "TTY#NO#CRLF"
on the terminal and then move the
paper so that you are on the first line of a label. Then
type "COPY#TTY:=#FILE.LAB" where "FILE.LAB" is your
label file, and push the RETURN key on your terminal.
.skip
The labels will now be printed on your terminal.
.skip
You can also insert the label form into the GNT terminal
directly when running the ADRES program, and type the
input command "TTY:=filename" where filename is your address
file, to get the addresses printed directly from the
ADRES program to the label form.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /LIST
.skip
Exactly the same output is produced as with ordinary label output,
except that:
.skip
1) The default extension of the output file is .LST instead of .LAB.
.skip
2) The output file is divided into pages of suitable size.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /FILE
.skip
The output file has the same format, with formfeed characters
between each address, as the input file. Usually used in
combination with /SELECT.
.skip
The default extension of the output file with /FILE is .ADR.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /PRESORT
.skip
The output file is produced in a suitable format for sorting.
Each address becomes one long record, with <CR><LF> instead of
<FF> between records, and each line
in the input file is expanded
with blanks to its maximum length within this record.
This means that the same input line always gets the
same position in the presort record.
.skip
You may often want to modify the input file slightly
with TECO or a simple program before and after sorting,
to get the sort field first in a line.
.skip
If you want to reduce the length of the sort records, then
carefully choose values for the input switches
/LINE1:n and /LINE2:n.
The default values for these switches may often give
unneccesary long sort records.
.skip
The output file with /PRESORT has the default extension .USR.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /ASORT
.skip
The input file is in the format produced
as output with the switch /PRESORT.
.skip
The default extension of the input file with the switch
/ASORT is .SRT.
.skip
A typical sort operation involves:
.skip
1) Run ADRES with /PRESORT to convert a .ADR file to a .USR file
suitable for sorting.
.skip
2) Run SORT to produce a sorted file with extension .SRT from
the unsorted file with extension .USR.
.skip
3) Run ADRES again to convert the sorted file with extension
_.SRT to a .ADR, .LAB or .LST file.
.if help
.page
INPUTTING OR OUTPUTTING FILES TO OTHER PROGRAMS
.endif help
.skip
The switch /ASORT is useful to simplify input of files produced
in other programs, written in, e.g_. COBOL, FORTRAN or SIMULA. In the same
way /PRESORT may simplify output of data to programs in other languages.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /OUT1
.skip
Normally the first line of each input address is not output
on labels or listings. This line is assumed to contain
a selection key or other internal information not to be printed.
With this switch however, you can get the whole input record
output on labels and listings.
.skip
When this switch is set, the maximum length of all lines
is set to the largest of the switch values /LINE1:n and /LINE2:n.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /SELECT
.skip
When this switch is set, you can use a Boolean condition to
select only certain addresses for output.
.skip
A typical such Boolean condition might be:
.break
#########SWEDEN+(DENMARK+NORWAY)_&-UNIVERSITY
.break
meaning that you want to select all addresses containing
the word "SWEDEN" and also all addresses containing
the words "DENMARK" or "NORWAY" except those containing the word
"UNIVERSITY".
.if help
.skip
[Help on /SELECT continues on the next page]
.page
COMMAND SWITCH: /SELECT CONTINUED
.endif help
.skip
Priority of operator characters:
.break
1) "(" and ")"
.break
2) -
.break
3) _&
.break
4) _+
.skip
You will be asked for two Boolean conditions, one for
the first line in the address, one for the other lines.
If you input both conditions, only those lines will be
output which satisfy both conditions.
.skip
Selection is faster if you only input a Boolean condition
for the first line. You can also make selection faster with
the /NOCASESHIFT switch.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /NOCASESHIFT
.skip
This switch is only meaningful combined with the /SELECT
switch. If this switch is not given, the word
e.g_. "SWEDEN" or "sweden" in a Boolean condition are
identical in meaning, and will recognize any address
containing "SWEDEN" or "sweden" or "Sweden".
.skip
When the /NOCASESHIFT switch is set, the word
"SWEDEN" in a Boolean condition will only recognize
exactly this text without case shifts. This
will make selection somewhat faster.

COMMAND SWITCH: /LINES:N
.skip
This switch is used to tell the system the size of
your adhesive labels. Substitute for N the
number of lines on a label.

COMMAND SWITCH: /LEFT:N
.skip
The number of characters in
left margin before the first label in the breadth.

COMMAND SWITCH: /LINE1:N
.skip
The maximum length of the first line in the input
address. If you try to input a larger address, an error
will occur.
If such an error occurs, you can type proceed to continue
execution.
You will then be allowed to conversationally
input a shorter line instead of the too long line.
.skip
.ifnot help
.indent -5
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /LINE2:N
.skip
The maximum length for all input address
lines except the first line. See above.

.if help
.page
.endif help
.ifnot help
.p -5,1,10
.endif help
COMMAND SWITCH: /NOTABS
.skip
If you have more than one label in the breadth of the
output form, the program will normally output one tab
to skip from one label to the next. With /NOTABS,
a number of blanks will be used instead.
.skip
Note that since only one tab is used to space between
labels, the tab settings on the terminal must be set
to the start of each label. Standard tab settings
every eight characters will not do.
If your terminal has no tabs which can easily be set,
you can avoid this problem by using the switch /NOTAB.
.skip
If you do not write /NOTABS, the output will also
include device control characters to set the tab
settings according to the standard used on
GNT, Terminet etc_. terminals.

which is suitable for certain forms with just one
adhesive label across the breadth of the form.
