The invention is a method and apparatus for generating a coded address list. The method is initiated by inputting an address list to a data processing device which then reads each address record on the address list. As an address record is read, a set of rules is applied to the record to determine whether or not a corresponding bar code can be assigned. If a bar code can be assigned, then the data processing device writes the address record and its corresponding bar code to a first list. If, however, a corresponding bar code is not determined for an address record, then the unmatched address record is posted to a second list. The first list is output for printing, while the second list is saved to memory. With respect to the second list, the system operator can: manually correct an address record on the list; delete the address record; or, output the address record to a printer for non-discounted mailing. The apparatus for generating the coded address lists comprises data processing means for accepting the address list and for accepting a set of postal service rules for coding the address records on the list. The data processing means has a memory for storing the postal service rules, and coding means for coding the address records. Additionally, the apparatus has compiler means for compiling the lists of coded and non-coded address records; and, output means for outputting the coded list for printing, and further for outputting a report.
