Address Validator Port Reference

Address Validator Port Reference

Extended Element Result Status

Extended Element Result Status

Output port that supplements the status data on the Element Input Status port and Element Result Status port. The port can also indicate the presence of additional information about an address element in the reference data.

Extended Element Result Status Usage

To verify that an address record is complete, select Extended Element Result Status. The Extended Element Result Status codes indicate the following general conditions for an address:
  • An address is complete, but the address reference data contains additional information.
  • An address is incomplete because it requires additional address elements.
  • An address is incomplete because the address elements identify more than one mailbox.
To find out if the mail carrier requires the missing information, use the Extended Element Result Status port with other status ports. For example, the following address does not identify a single building:
1 Harbour Rd. Wan Chai Hong Kong Island
The following table describes the status that address validation returns for the Building element:

The return code of 1 indicates that Hong Kong address reference data includes additional building data for the address. However, Hongkong Post accepts mail for delivery to the address without the additional data.
To read the output codes on the Extended Element Result Status port, you must understand the types of address information that the characters in the code refer to. For information about the type of address information that each character in the code represents, see the Element Status Ports Overview.

6
