Table 1. France-specific Output Fields

ADDRESS_FIELD_VALIDATION Extended match codes for France. The ADDRESS_FIELD_VALIDATION field appears as follows: 
P+G+B+E+F+C+S+T+V+X+Y+H+
In this code, the value of "+" can be one of the lowercase letters represented in the match status:
  • m (match) – The input matches the dataset value.
  • p (partialMatch) – Part of the input matches the dataset value (for example, a single token or a number without a suffix). Currently, this is only used for the H field.
  • c (corrected) – The input was changed to match the dataset value.
  • s (supplied) – No input was provided; the value comes from the dataset.
  • i (inputReturned) – No value in the dataset; the input is returned.
  • - (notUsed) – The field was not provided in the input, or there is no value in the dataset and RETURN_INPUT_FIRM_AND_SUB_BUILDINGS is set to false.
The uppercase letters indicate the field being described:
  • P – Place name
  • G – Building group name
  • B – Building name
  • E – Building entrance name
  • F – Floor/level
  • C – Corridor
  • S – Stair
  • T – Unit type
  • V – Unit value
  • X – Postal box value
  • Y – Postal box type (such as BP, CS, etc.)
  • H – House (used to return partial match information, which is not possible with the existing precision code)
Example: 
P-GmBcE-F-C-S-TiViX-Y-Hp
This example means: Group matched, Building corrected, unit Type and Value returned as input, House was a partial match (for example, 11 instead of 11a), and other fields did not apply.
