Defining Address Fields

The Address Fields window allows you to specify fields that will be used for postal address cleansing. To access this window, open a print stream and then select Field > Set Address. You do not need to define address fields unless you need to locate the ZIP Codes within the addresses, or cleansing the addresses.

The fields in this window are described next.

  • Perform CASS Cleansing: Select this check box if you want to cleanse all addresses in the print stream. Clear this check box if you do not want to cleanse all addresses in the print stream.
  • Use Address Block: Select this option to define an address by position and then complete the following fields.
    • Row: Select the row number in which the address block begins.
    • Column: Select the column number in which the address block begins.
    • Width: Select the width of the address block.
    • Set Position: Click this button to automatically set the Row, Column, and Width fields of the address block based on the text you selected before you opened the Address Fields window.
    • Number of Lines: Select the number of lines (or records) in the address block.
    • Printed Lines: Select this option to specify the number of printed lines in the address block. Printed lines are the lines that will actually print on the page, as opposed to data records, which include the text as it appears when you view the print stream using an editor or browser, such as ISPF or Hex Workshop.
    • Data records: Select this option to specify the number of lines in the address block in data records. Data records are the lines that display when you browse the print stream using an editor or browser, such as ISPF or Hex Workshop, as opposed to printed lines, which are the lines that actually print on the page.
    • Replace address if changed: Select this check box to replace the address if it changed as a result of CASS™ cleansing. Clear this check box if you do not want to replace the address even if it changed as a result of CASS™ cleansing.
    • First page only: Select this check box to act upon the address on the first page of each document only. Clear this check box to act upon all occurrences of the address in each document.
  • Use Address Fields: Select this option to define an address by identifying fields (up to six) corresponding to each line of the address.
