In order for this code to work you will need a database of all countrycodes. and a small Convertchars database which converts % to |. I find it iseasier to parse through a long string looking for | instead of %. I am notreally sure why I converted chars in the first place, but it works. You willhave to go in and modify certain parts which have hard coded values. Thiscode was designed to work in a checkout so some of the values are variablesbeing passed in a form. All the comment tags are placed there to prevent aton of white space from being generated. It also uses another small databaseto convert UPS product codes into English words.
