Country ISO3 Digit Ports

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

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) maintains the sets of country name abbreviations that mail carriers use. The ISO 3166-1 numeric standard provides a three-digit address code for every country. The ISO 3166-1 numeric codes are identical to the three-digit country codes developed and maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division.

Country ISO3 Digit Usage

Select an Country ISO3 Digit input port when an address contains an ISO 3166-1 numeric code.

Select an Country ISO3 Digit output port to write the ISO 3166-1 numeric code for the address as output.

Use Country ISO3 Digit ports to identify countries in data sets that may be read in multiple language locales. Country ISO3 Digit port data is not affected by the writing system or code page used to store the data.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Country ISO3 Digit ports:

There are three Country ISO3 Char ports. Select one Country ISO3 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, if it is present, 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.
