Element Result Status

Output port that describes the actions that the address validation process takes for each element in the input address data.

Element Result Status Usage

Select Element Result Status to identify the address data elements that changed during address validation.

To read the output codes of the Element Result Status port, you must understand the types of address information that the code values refer to. For information about the type of address information that each character in the code represents, see the Element Status Ports Overview.

Element Result Status contains status information about output address records. To review status information about input address records, use the Element Input Status port.

Port Location

The following table provides the location and default precision of the Element Result Status port:

Port Type	Port Group	Template Model	Precision
Output	Status Info	Basic	30

Element Result Status Output Codes

The Element Result Status value is a 20-character string in which each character represents a different type of address information.

The following table describes the codes that Element Result Status can return in each position on the output string:

Code	Description
0	The output address contains no data at the current position.
1	The transformation cannot find the data at the current position in the reference data. The transformation copies the input data to the output data.
2	Data at the current position is not checked but is standardized.
3	Data at the current position is checked but does not match the reference data. The reference data suggests that the number data is not in the valid range. The transformation copies the input data to the output port. Applies in batch mode.
4	The transformation copies the input data to the output data because the reference data is missing.
5	Data at the current position is validated but not changed because multiple matches exist in the reference data. Applies in batch mode.
6	Data validation deleted the input value at the current position.
7	Data at the current position is validated but the input data contained a spelling error. Validation corrected the error with a value from the reference data.
8	Data at the current position is validated and updated with a value from the reference data. A value of 8 can also mean that the reference database contains additional data for the input element. For example, validation can add a building number or sub-building number if it finds a perfect match for the street name or building name.
9	Data at the current position is validated but not changed, and the delivery status is not clear. For example, the DPV value is wrong.
C	Data at the current position is validated and verified, but the name data is out of date. Validation changed the name data.
D	Data at the current position is validated and verified but changed from an exonym to an official name.
E	Data at the current position is validated and verified. However, address validation standardized the character case or the language. Address validation can change the language if the value fully matches a language alternative. For example, address validation can change "Brussels" to "Bruxelles" in a Belgian address.
F	Data at the current position is validated, verified, and not changed, due to a perfect match with the reference data.

Positions 19 and 20 in the output string relate to country data.

The following table describes the values that validation can return for positions 19 and 20:

Code	Description
0	The output address contains no data at the current position.
1	Address validation does not recognize the country data.
4	Address validation identifies the country from the Default Country value in the Address Validator transformation.
5	Address validation cannot determine the country because the reference data contains multiple matches.
6	Address validation identifies the country from a script.
7	Address validation identifies the country from the address format.
8	Address validation identifies the country from major town data.
9	Address validation identifies the country from province data.
C	Address validation identifies the country from territory data.
D	Address validation identifies the country from the country name, but the name contains errors.
E	Address validation identifies the country from the address data, for example from an ISO code or a country name.
F	Address validation identifies the country from the Force Country value set in the Address Validator transformation.
