Use the Activate Z4CHANGE Option screen (C1CPID30) to specify the input record location of the CODE-1 Plus Master File vintage date or type the vintage date on the screen. For Z4CHANGE processing, the vintage date is the date the input file was last processed with the CODE-1 Plus database. For more information on the Z4CHANGE option, refer to Using Z4CHANGE.
The Z4CHANGE option uses the vintage date to determine if a 9-digit ZIP Code has changed since the last time your records were processed. The Z4CHANGE Master File contains all of the changes to ZIP + 4 Codes in the last 12 months. Records that contain an unchanged 9-digit ZIP Code, according to vintage date, do not need to be re-coded and are skipped.
