Description

This program imports the postal code file supplied by Deutsche Post AG (the German post office) into the IS-H System.

Requirements

You must specify the pathe and file name of the sequential file containing the postal codes.

To ensure that the system only imports the postal codes of the current version, enter the delivery date and the version of the postal code file. For further information about this, refer to the Deutsche Post AG user manual.

The Country Key field must contain the abbreviation for "Germany", as it is maintained in your system (call Possible Entries (F4) for this field).

You can restrict the postal code area which is to be imported. To do this, enter the relevant postal codes that are to be available in your system in the Postal Code field. You can also use this field to import "packages" of postal codes if your system configuration does not permit you to import the data all at once.

You must set the Import Packages indicator if you do not import all the postal codes in one processing operation. Note that when you import packages, this option is activated with the second package. This prevents postal codes that were imported in an earlier run from being deleted when the first package is imported, with the exception of manually changed data records. If you want such data records to be deleted as well, you have to set the Delete Old Version Completely indicator for the first run.

You can stipulate whether the catalog is to be imported into your system with the complete district list and street directory for Germany (for approx. 21,000 cities) or only those districts and streets which are necessary for postal code assignment (for approx. 209 cities with several delivery postal codes). Both catalogs are provided by the post office. When installing the complete district list and street directory, you should therefore make sure that the complete Deutsche Post AG catalog is used as the basis.

When importing the geographical areas, you can make the following distinctions:

  • Importing the German federal states
  • Importing the administrative districts
  • Importing the areas and cities not belonging to an area
  • Importing the municipality keys

Note that the unambiguity of the postal code to geographical area relationship is lost if you select more than one import type. This means that there is always more than one geographical area for one code, and this could adversely affect the patient admission procedure (the user must access the list of geographical areas, and choose the correct one for every address entry).

Output

The system creates the two IS-H catalogs Postal Codes and Geographical Areas.
