PURPOSE Control

PURPOSE Control

Use the PURPOSE control to specify the name of the matching purpose to use in a match call.
The PURPOSE control uses the following syntax:
PURPOSE=<expression>
.
Use one of the following formats for
<expression>
:
<expression> := <Purpose_Name> <expression> := <Purpose_Name>(<Match_level>) <expression> := (not<expression>) <expression> := (<expression> or <expression>) <expression> := (<expression> and <expression>) <expression> := (<expression>)
In the
ssan3_match
section of SSA-NAME3 Workbench, under
Mandatory Controls
, you can find a list of the supported purpose names. With most standard populations, you can use one of the following predefined purposes:
  • Address
  • Contact
  • Division
  • Fields
  • Household
  • Individual
  • Organization
  • Person_Name
  • Resident
  • Wide_Contact
  • Geocode
  • Product
For more information about each purpose and its required and optional fields, from the
Help
menu of SSA-NAME3 Workbench, click
Population Documentation
.
The simple form of
<expression>
is
PURPOSE=<Purpose Name>
. For example,
PURPOSE=Address
performs matching on the specified address fields.
