Reading the Database File Names

The database file names have the following format:
<ISO3>_<Function>_<ProcessType>_<ProcessSubType>_<DataSetID>_<MinVersion>.MD6
For example,

Interpret the file names in the following way:
  • ISO3 denotes the three-character ISO country code. For example, DEU for Germany.
  • Function denotes the name of the product. In the file name, ADV represents Address Verification.
  • ProcessType denotes the type of process. In the file name, VRF represents Verification, ENR represents Enrichment, and RLK represents Reverse Lookup.
  • ProcessSubType denotes the process mode for which the file is intended or the type of data that the file contains.
    The following list identifies the subtypes:
    • ACL for AddressCodeLookup mode
    • BIA for Batch and Interactive modes
    • Cxx for Certified mode
    • QCP for QuickCapture mode
    • GTA for GeocodeToAddress mode
    • GAP for arrival point geocoding
    • GRT for rooftop geocoding
    • GST for street center, locality center, and postal code center geocoding
    • CAM for CAMEO data
    • EN1 for supplementary data
  • DataSetID denotes the data set ID value. The supported range is 000 through 999.
  • MinVersion denotes the oldest version of Address Verification with which you can use the file.
