Element Status Ports Overview

The Element Input Status, Element Relevance, Element Result Status, and Extended Element Result Status ports provides status information about the validity of input and output data elements. Select the element ports to review the outcomes of an address validation operation.

The codes contain the following information:

Element Input Status codes represent the quality of the match found between the input address data and the reference data.

Element Relevance codes identify the address elements that are necessary for address delivery in the destination country.

Element Result Status codes describe any change made to the input data during processing.

Extended Element Result Status codes indicate that the address reference data contains additional information about the address element.

Each port returns a 20-character code in which each character refers to a different address data element. When you read the output codes on element ports, you must know the element that each character refers to. The 20 characters consist of 10 pairs. The two codes in each pair represent a type of address information. For example, the first position in the return code represents basic postal code information.

The Address Resolution Code port returns a 20-character string based on the same address elements as the Element Status ports.

The following table describes the address elements that the values at each position identify:

Level 0 information can precede or follow level 1 information in a printed address. For example, Postal code level 1 follows Postal code level 0, and Locality level 1 precedes Locality level 0.
