RE: Trivia: How many lines of code are allowed in an RPG Program?

Does the input file have every possible Canadian zip code in it?

Why is the range T4A1A1 - T4A1B3 valid but T4A1A1 - T4A1D3 is not?  Does (or
could) zip code T4A1A5 exist?

What was the logic you used to accomplish the task for good ole' U.S. zip
codes?

Have you tried, or has someone else suggested, reading the input file in zip
code sequence, and doing level break processing when the city name changes?
L1 detail time = beginning of a new range.  L1 total time = end of the
range.
