Street Pre-Directional Ports

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

The Street Pre-Directional port identifies the direction that the street runs. For example, "West" is the directional data in "West 10th Street." The Street Pre-Directional port contains a subset of the data in the Street Complete port. The Street Pre-Directional port contains a subset of the data in the Street Complete port. The ports are linked by number, so that for example Street Pre-Directional 1 is a subset of Street Complete 1.

Street Pre-Directional Usage

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

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

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

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

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

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

You can select all street data ports as outputs.
