Building Number Ports

Input and output ports that contain all building number data in an address record.

In address validation, Building Number data identifies a building within a set of buildings. For example, the digit "2" is the building number in "Terminal 2." Building numbers do not identify houses or other buildings at street level. Use the Street Number ports to identify houses or other buildings on a street.

The data in a Building Number port is a subset of the data in the corresponding Building Complete port. For example, Building Complete 1 includes all data in Building Number 1.

Building Number Usage

To read the building number from a single port in an input address, select a Building Number input port.

To write the building number to a single port in an output address, select a Building Number output port.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Building Number ports

There are six Building Number ports. If an address record contains more than one building number, select additional Building Number ports.

Most countries use Building Number 1 or Building Number 2 ports. Select a port in the Building Number 3 through Building Number 6 range if the building data is highly complex.

For each building in an address, select the Building Complete input port or select one or more of the Building Name, Building Number, or Building Descriptor input ports.

You can select all building data output ports.

The Address Validator transformation can recognize either building name or building number data in an address. If an address contains name and number data for a building, the transformation treats the data as a building name.

The following table provides the location and default precision of the Building Number 1 and Building Number 2 ports:
