I think Lenny is ok now.

I have directed him to the right place - Lenny if you are still on here I think you will agree.

I PM'd Lenny my mobile and we had a chat - his enquiries were FAR TOO TECHNICAL for us on here.

I think he may have been frustrated with RM Customer Services and "not being put through to a techie".

He should be okay now.




GOOD LUCK TO US ALL AND HAVE FAITH

Anyways,i just got this from a top dude up town,still aint got a clue what it all is.

Interesting... I know about as much as him, that the last digit is a check digit. It's not a Royal Mail thing, all PA's use the same kind of format, with a different country code at the end - so the people who decided what format would be used to calculate the check digit I imagine would be the Universal Postal Union.

However, if this is causing problems for the OP it sounds to me like he is sending out a large number of SDs/RDs. If this is the case, I would suggest he speaks to his Account Manager about using our Despatch Express software - this would avoid any human error and mean he can keep a tighter control over items sent and their respective tracking numbers.

I've written coded an example in delphi / pascal. If you care and you really want me to talk you throught it, PM me.

function CheckRDN(p_RDN:string):boolean;
var
lv_trackDigit, lv_multiplier :string;
lv_count, lv_modulus, lv_total :integer;
begin
//Nospace Strict!!!
if (length(p_RDN)<> 13) then
begin
result:=false;
end
else
begin
lv_multiplier:='86423597';
lv_modulus:=11;
lv_trackDigit:=copy(p_RDN,3,8);
//Check lv_trackDigit is numeric
lv_total:=0;
for lv_count:= 1 to 8 do
begin
lv_total:=lv_total + (strtoint(copy(lv_trackDigit,lv_count,1))*strtoint(copy(lv_multiplier,lv_count,1)));
end;
lv_total:=lv_modulus - (lv_total - ((lv_total div lv_modulus) * lv_modulus));
if lv_total = 11 then lv_total := 5;
if lv_total = 10 then lv_total := 0;
form1.Edit2.text:=inttostr(lv_total);

result:=(strtoint(copy(p_RDN,11,1)) = lv_total);
end;
end;

Keep it up, stop striking, don't go postal and thanks for all you help! ;-)
