Variables for storing and retrieving data

This chapter contains the valid variables used with GSHGET, GSDATSET, GSDATGET, and GSMGET.

The following describes the contents of each table column:

Variable

Lists the defined constant used to access this element.

GSHGET 

•StreetA bullet indicates this variable is valid when using a Street handle with GSHGET. Includes only Street level information.

•SegmentA bullet indicates this is valid when using a Segment handle with GSHGET. Includes Street and Segment information.

•RangeA bullet indicates this variable is valid when using a Range handle with GSHGET. Includes Street, Segment, and Range information.

GSDATSET

A bullet indicates this variable is valid when using GSDATSET.

GSDATGET 

•Input A bullet indicates this is valid when using input flag with this function.

•OutputIndicates this variable is valid when using the output flag with this function. Can be:

A – Valid for non-intersection matches only

I – Valid for intersection matches only

L - Valid for street locator matches only

P - Point data match.

–R - Reverse geocoding only.

Bullet – Valid for all types of match

GSMGET

Indicates the valid match types.

A – Valid for non-intersection matches.

I – Valid for intersection matches only.

L - Valid for street locator and relaxed address matches only.

P - Point data match.

Bullet – Valid for all types of matches.

Length

A number indicating the largest string GeoStan returns for this variable. This length includes a NULL-termination character. Symbolic constants use the naming convention <<NAME>>-LENGTH. For example the variable GS-ADDRLINE returns the input or output address line. The maximum length of an address line is 61. Therefore, the symbolic constant is GS-ADDRLINE-LENGTH and is defined as 61.

Description 

A brief explanation of the information returned. If you use an invalid variable, GeoStan returns an Invalid Argument error.
