The USPS state abbreviations are used as input to the State Cut program. A list of the state abbreviations and names can be displayed using the -i option at the command line. To perform the same State Cut process each month, a state list file can be created using any text editor or the Finalist Workbench Save button.
To use the state list file at the command line, use the -s statefile option where statefile is the name (and path if necessary) of the file containing the list of states. State abbreviations can be listed in any order. An example of your input for running the State Cut program from the command line is shown next.
"c:\Precisely\Finalistxxx\bin\statecut.exe -s stateslist.txt"
The State Cut program status messages display to allow you to monitor processing.
