Interpreting S Result Codes
For S (street geocoded) international result codes, eight additional characters describe how closely the address matches an address in the database. The characters appear in the order listed in the following table. Any non-matched address elements are represented by a dash.
For example, the result code S5--N-SCZA represents a single close match that matched the street name, street suffix direction, town, and postcode. The dashes indicate that there was no match on house number, street prefix direction, or thoroughfare type. The match came from the Street Range Address database. This record would be geocoded at the street address position of the match candidate.

Sublocality. The SL result code is used for India only. This indicates a sublocality (block or sector) match when a street match (S4) or point match (S8) was not possible. An SL result code also requires a match on other geographic input fields (city, district, or state). In India, street name information is often not available, but a sublocality can be a very small area. Therefore an SL match can be more precise than a street centroid S4 match. |
