At some point in the process, there's a bit of simple arithmetice being
performed - 19083-5008 = 14075.

Do an Edit Replace on the datasource to get rid of the - so that the zip
codes are of the form 190835008.

You have not mentioned in what software the datasource is located. If
necessary, use a catalog or directory type mailmerge in Word to get it into
the form of a Word Table so that you can use Edit Replace on it.

Just another note here - when using the conditional switch to preserve
existing 9-digit zip codes, the zip code -0000.
Strange no?
