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
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Anyways,i just got this from a top dude up town,still aint got a clue what it all is. :crazy:
POSTMANS Secret source wrote: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.
:neutral: :d'oh!

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! ;-)
