The CODE-1 Plus database expires regularly in accordance with USPS regulations outlined in DMM 708. When your CODE-1 Plus database is within 45 days of the expiration date, the following message appears on your Parameter Record Listing Report in batch and on the CODE-1 Plus Interactive screen:
**********************************************************************************
* WARNING: THE CODE-1 PLUS MASTER FILE WILL EXPIRE IN 36 DAYS ON MM/DD/YYYY
* CONTACT Precisely CUSTOMER SUPPORT IF ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED
**********************************************************************************If your database expires (i.e. it is not current as defined by the DMM 708 matrix), CODE-1 Plus will not run. In batch mode, the Parameter Record Listing Report prints with the following message:
**********************************************************************************
* CODE-1 Plus Master File EXPIRED on MM/DD/YYYY
**********************************************************************************The interactive matcher ceases to function in accordance with the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) A960 matrix. The interactive system inquiry area, however, remains available even after the interactive matcher expires. In this case, the following message will be displayed on the prompt line above the function key descriptions:
CODE-1 PLUS DATABASE IS EXPIRED
You can, however, use the EXTEND command to bypass the expiration date in the interactive system.
You can use the BYPEXP parameter to override an expired database and run a job. However, a USPS Form 3553 will not be produced. The following message prints.
**********************************************************************************
* USPS FORM 3553 SUPPRESSED DUE TO BYPASSING DATABASE EXPIRATION DATE CHECK *
**********************************************************************************For more information on the BYPEXP parameter, refer to "Parameter Reference" in your CODE-1 Plus Reference Guide.
The Delivery Point Validation (DPV) option will stop working at the end of the fourth month from the release of the database.
If you have an expired DPV database, this message will appear:
**********************************************************************************
*DELIVERY POINT VALIDATION SUPPRESSED DUE TO DATABASE EXPIRATION DATE CHECK*
**********************************************************************************
