Street Post-Directional Ports

Input and output ports that contain directional data that comes after a street name in an address record.

The Street Post-Directional port identifies the direction that the street runs. For example, "South" is the directional data in "Central Park South." The Street Post-Directional port contains a subset of the data in the Street Complete port. The ports are linked by number, so that for example Street Post-Directional 1 is a subset of Street Complete 1.

Street Post-Directional Usage

Select a Street Post-Directional input port when an input address contains directional data that comes after a street name in a single port.

Select a Street Post-Directional output port to write the postdirectional data for a street name in a single port.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Street Post-Directional ports:

There are six Street Post-Directional ports. If an address record contains postdirectional data for more than one street, select additional Street Post-Directional ports

A street address may use multiple words for directional data. In this case, a postdirectional output port contains all the words that identify the direction of the street. For example, the Address Validator transformation parses "South West" to a single postdirectional port for the street address "Ridge Road South West."

Most countries use Street Post-Directional 1 or Street Post-Directional 2 ports. You may need to select a port in the Street Post-Directional 3 through Street Post-Directional 6 range if the street data is highly complex.

For each street in an address, select a Street Complete input port or select one or more of the Street Name, Street Post-Descriptor, Street Post-Directional, Street Pre-Descriptor, or Street Pre-Directional ports.

You can select all street data ports as outputs.
