Country ISO2 Char Ports

Input and output ports that identify the country in an address by its two-letter ISO Code.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) maintains the sets of country name abbreviations that mail carriers use. The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard provides a two-letter address code for every country.

Country ISO2 Char Usage

Select an Country ISO2 Char input port when an address contains an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.

Select an Country ISO2 Char output port to write the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the address as output.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Country ISO2 Char ports:

There are three Country ISO2 Char ports. Select one Country ISO2 Char port for each address.

The Address Validator transformation contains Country ISO2 Char ports, Country ISO3 Char ports, and Country ISO3 Digit ports. If the ports contain conflicting data, the Address Validator transformation prioritizes the data in the Country ISO3 Char port.

The Address Validator transformation uses country code data to select the address reference data set to apply to the address record. If country code data is absent, the Address Validator transformation selects the default country reference data that is configured in the transformation.
