The Access software testing process requires you to sort a list of approximately 29,646 UK addresses and submit for validation electronic versions of the Computer Planning Report, Line Listing and the Sorted Test Address List generated by your software.

File Formats

The test address lists are "plain text" (ASCII) files supplied in either comma delimited or fixed field width formats.

In fixed field width format as each field is of fixed width it occupies the same position within records of the file. There are no special characters used to delimit fields.

For both of these formats, records are terminated by carriage return (ASCII: 13) and line feed (ASCII: 10) characters.

Test Address List Record Structure

* For comma-delimited format, the Field Width represents the maximum field width.

**  The Delivery Point Suffix (DPS) is used on the Access 70 CBC tests only.

Please note that there is no designated Post Town field.
