- the program stored in the further data processing system also carries out the following steps according to an important preferred embodiment: • storing the newly ordered, at least receiver addresses containing record in which the provided for a respective delivery cell mailings for a labeling process to be controlled uniformly markable and successively sortable in the sense of an optimized distribution in a predeterminable order,
- the program stored in the data processing system executes the additional step of summing over the number of receiver addresses of a delivery cell.
- the important method step makes it possible for a delivery cell to be subdivided into subunits (bundles) in the event that more recipient addresses are counted in a delivery cell than a predetermined number, the number of recipient addresses within a subunit corresponding to the predetermined number and between the last recipient address of an upstream subunit and a respective first recipient address of the respective upstream subunit subordinate subunit a delimiter is inserted.
- a delimiter for the mutual delimitation of subunits of a delivery cell can be defined as a predetermined number consecutively arranged separation mark for delimiting delivery cells (according to claim 9) (for example * for mutual delimitation of delivery cells and ** for mutual delimitation of subunits of a delivery cell), or a delimiter for the mutual delimitation of subunits of a delivery cell may also be defined as a separate delimiter different from the delimiters for delimiting delivery cells (according to claim 9) (for example as # if a * is defined for the mutual delineation of delivery cells). It is also conceivable that a separator is defined as a combination of different separators defined in a predetermined order, wherein a separator may be chosen as one character from the set of alphanumeric characters or one character from the set of ASCII characters.
- the predetermined order of the delivery cells is likewise preferably defined in an alphanumeric code.
