Recipient Line Ports

Input and output ports that contain the first line of data that relates to the intended recipient of the mail. Recipient Line data can form part of a formatted address.

The national mail carrier defines the standard address format for mail items in a country. If you provide addresses that conform to the standard format, the mail carrier can offer you a discount on the cost of delivery.

Recipient Line Usage

Select a Recipient Line input port to identify the person or organization to whom the mail is addressed in the input record.

Select a Recipient Line output port to add the person or organization to whom the mail is addressed to the output record.

When you select a Recipient Line port to define a formatted address, you must also select the ports that contain the other lines in the address. Select the following ports with Recipient Line:

Delivery Address Line ports. Contain building, street, and sub-building data.

Country Specific Last Line port. Contains the last line of domestic data in the formatted address.

Postcode ports. Required if the mail format places the post code data below the locality data.

Country ISO3 Char port. Contains the ISO three-letter code. Required if the address contains country information.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Recipient Line ports:

There are six Recipient Line ports. The number of Recipient Line ports that you need depends on the number of recipients present in the input address data set.

Formatted Address Line ports can also create addresses in the structure expected by the domestic mail carrier. Select Recipient Line output ports when you know that one or more ports contain recipient data only and you want to recognize the ports in the output data set.

Contact data ports can contain the same data as Recipient Line ports. Select contact data ports when you want to parse different details about the mail recipient to different ports. The Recipient Line ports write all data on the recipient line to a single port.

Recipient Line ports and contact ports can contain the same data. Use contact data ports if the address contains multiple types of recipient data and you want to write each type to a separate port. Use Recipient Line ports to write the formatted line of contact data to a single port.

Port Locations

The following table provides the location and default precision of ports Recipient Line 1 through Recipient Line 6:
