24.1 Setting Up State-Province Country Codes

Navigation

From Address Book (G01), enter 29

From Address Book Setup (G0141), choose State-Province Country Codes

Before you can add address book records, you must set up the state/province country codes that you use. The Address Book Revisions program (P01051) validates that the combination of state (or province) and country exists in the State-Province/Country Code file (F0075) when you add a new address book record.

If you set up the same state code for a multiple countries, the system automatically displays the State/Country Window (P0075W) so that you can choose the correct country for the state or province code that you enter for the address book record.

Before You Begin

  • Ensure that the user-defined code table (UDC) for Country Codes (01/CN) is set up.

To set up state-province and country codes

You use the State-Province Country Codes program (P0075) to set up the abbreviation for the state or province for the corresponding country code defined in UDC table 01/CN. The program allows a three-character abbreviation for both state (province) and country codes. The system does not validate the code that you enter for the state.
