Street Pre-Descriptor Ports

Input and output ports that contain descriptive data that precedes the street name in an address record.

The Street Pre-Descriptor value can specify a street in an area where several streets have a common Street Name value. For example, predescriptors separate "Rue St. Germain" and "Boulevard St. Jean." The Street Pre-Descriptor port contains a subset of the data in the Street Complete port. The ports are linked by number, so that for example Street Pre-Descriptor 1 is a subset of Street Complete 1.

Street Pre-Descriptor Usage

Select a Street Pre-Descriptor input port when an input address contains descriptive data for a street name in a single port and the data precedes the street name.

Select a Street Pre-Descriptor output port to write the predescriptive data for a street name to a single port.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Street Pre-Descriptor ports:

There are six Street Pre-Descriptor ports. If an address record contains a predescriptor for more than one street, select additional Street Pre-Descriptor ports.

Most countries use Street Pre-Descriptor 1 or Street Pre-Descriptor 2 ports. You may need to select a port in the Street Pre-Descriptor 3 through Street Pre-Descriptor 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 input ports.

You can select all street data ports as outputs.
