Delivery Address Line Ports

Input and output ports that contain building and street data that is formatted to mail delivery standards.

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. Delivery Address Line ports enable you to read and write building and street data in the format expected by the national mail carrier.

For example, the USPS recommends the following structure for domestic residential addresses:


		Line 1		Person or contact                          JOHN DOE
		Line 2		Street Number, Street, Sub-building        123 MAIN ST NW STE 12
		Line 3		City, State, ZIP Code                      ANYTOWN NY 12345

Delivery Address Line ports contain the street number, street, and sub-building data in this address. Delivery Address Line ports can also contain building data.

Delivery Address Line Usage

Select Delivery Address Line input ports when the input address contains the building and street level data in formatted lines.

Select Delivery Address Line output ports to create a formatted address that writes building and street level data to a common set of ports.

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

Recipient Line ports. Contain person or contact data.

Country Specific Last Line port. Contains the address line that includes the primary locality name.

Province ports. Required if province data is not part of the locality line.

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

Country ISO3 Char port. Contains the ISO three-letter code. Required for international addresses.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Delivery Address Line ports:

Formatted Address Line ports can also create addresses in the structure expected by the domestic mail carrier. However, a Formatted Address Line port can contain any type of address data. Select Delivery Address Line output ports to ensure that the same ports contain all building and street level data for the addresses in the data set.

There are six Delivery Address Line ports. The number of Delivery Address Line ports you need can differ from country to country. Select the number of Delivery Address Line ports you need for each country in the address data set.

The Delivery Address Line output ports may combine or reorder data elements and may change the case of the data. Delivery Address Line output may also omit data elements that are not required by the mail carrier.
