Output Standardization

Output Standardization

When you validate an address, Address Verification returns the output that meets the specifications from the local postal authorities and the Universal Postal Union (UPU). You can modify the output by configuring the address element standardization options in the
Parameters.xml
file.
The address element-level standardization options include casing, maximum item count, and maximum length of the string. If you do not want to configure these attributes at the address element level, you can set global values for these attributes. If you configure global and address-element level values for
MaxLines
,
MaxLength
, and
Casing
attributes, the address element-level values override the global settings.
The following table describes the
MaxLines
,
MaxLength
, and
Casing
attributes and supported values for different address elements:
