Address Validator Port Reference

Address Validator Port Reference

Record Type

Record Type

Output ports that contain a single-character code that describes the type of mailbox. For example, the code can indicate if the address is in a high-rise building.
Include the record type value with the addresses that you submit for certification by the United States Postal Service (USPS) or Australia Post. The USPS certifies address record sets according to the Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) standard. Australia Post certifies address record sets according to the Address Matching Approval System (AMAS) standard. The Record Type code enables the mail carrier to process addresses that are valid to post code level but not valid to Delivery Point Code (DPC) or Delivery Point ID (DPID) level.
An AMAS or CASS certified process can reject an address record data set if the data set contains one or more records without delivery point information. The Record Type output code can provide the mail carrier with additional information about non-delivery point address, so that the mail carrier can accept the data set for certification.

Record Type Usage

Select Record Type to generate a code value that represents the address type. Select this port if you are not confident of the delivery point status of one or more addresses in a data set.
To view record type data, configure the Address Validator transformation to run in certified mode.
