Country Specific Last Line Ports

Input and output ports that contain the final line of locality data in a formatted address.

The national mail carrier defines the standard address format for mail items in a country. If you provide addresses that conform to the standard format, the mail carrier can offer you a discount on the cost of delivery.

A Country Specific Last Line port contains a locality name and may contain other data elements. For example, a Country Specific Last Line port contains city, state, and ZIP Code data in a United States address.

The USPS recommends the following structure for domestic residential addresses:


Line 1     Person/Contact Data                    JOHN DOE
Line 2     Street Number, Street, Sub-Building    123 MAIN ST NW STE 12
Line 3     Locality, State, ZIP Code              ANYTOWN NY 12345

Domestic address data identifies a mailbox within a country. The Country Specific Last Line port does not contain country data.

Country Specific Last Line Usage

Select a Country Specific Last Line input port when the input address is formatted for postal delivery. Connect the port that contains the last or principal locality data element to the Country Specific Last Line port.

Select a Country Specific Last Line output port to create a formatted address that writes the last line of locality data to a single port.

When you select a Country Specific Last Line port to define a formatted address, you must also select the ports that contain the other lines in the address. Select the following ports with Country Specific Last Line:

Recipient Line ports. Contain person or contact data.

Delivery Address Line ports. Contain building, street, and sub-building data.

Province ports. Required if province data is not part of the locality line.

Postcode ports. Required if the mail format places post code data below the locality data.

Country ISO3 Char port. Contains the ISO three-letter code. Required if the address contains country information.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Country Specific Last Line ports:

There are six Country Specific Last Line ports. Use Country Specific Last Line 1 for the last line of the locality data.

The Country Specific Last Line output port may combine or reorder data elements and may change the case of the data.
