Its not a stupid question at all.  

The application was installed prior to 1983.  For whatever reason they made
city & state one field.  Zip code is accurate, but the city & state have no
pattern.  State is quite often 2 letters, but just as often its the old
abbreviations, or spelled out completely.  This is one of those delicate
matters of balance.  Where does one stop in modifying code this old?  For
example these are program described files.  Modifying a file is a major
undertaking.
