EDIT ADDRESS

Use the command EDIT ADDRESS to create and store an address other than your user number address for use with PRINT and ORDER requests. This command can also be used to create an address for use with the SET ADDRESS command.

To create an address, enter EDIT ADDRESS. You can assign a name of one to 30 characters in one of two ways: either include it with the EDIT ADDRESS command or include it with the SAVE command when you have finished creating the address.

Once you have entered the EDIT ADDRESS command, Dialog will prompt you for the type of address you want to create: postal, email or FTP (file transfer protocol). (FTP delivery is available for Alert results only, and not for regular prints.) You can bypass this prompt by entering the Address Type as part of the EDIT ADDRESS command, e.g., EDIT ADDRESS POSTAL.
