NAMEFORMAT Control

Use the NAMEFORMAT control to define whether the major word in the name or address is on the left end or the right end. For example, in Western person names, the family name is on the right end of the names, and you can specify

NAMEFORMAT=R

Use the

NAMEFORMAT

control to override the default name format. For more information about the default name format for a given standard population field and its effects, from the

Help

menu of SSA-NAME3 Workbench, click

Population Documentation

You can provide extra weight to match the major words in the

Person_Name

field in some purposes such as

Person_Name

Household

Family

, and

Wide_Household

The

NAMEFORMAT

control in a

match

call overrides the name format for all name and address fields in the match purpose, so use the

NAMEFORMAT

control with caution.
