Output

Spectrum Global Address Validation output is determined by the output options you select.

Standard Address Output

Standard address output consists of address lines which correspond to how the address would appear on an address label. City, state or province, postal code, and other data are also included in the standard address output.

Table 1. Standard Address Output
Field Name Format Description
AdditionalInputData String Additional input data entered that was not used for matching.
AddressBlock1-2 String The AddressBlock output fields contain a formatted version of the standardized or normalized address as it would be printed on a physical mailpiece. Global Address Validation formats the address into address blocks using postal authority standards. Each line of the address is returned in a separate address block field. There can be up to two address block output fields: AddressBlock1 and AddressBlock2.

AddressBlock1 includes:

  • PO Box—CAN, FRA, GBR
  • Firm Name
  • Unit Number
  • Unit Type
  • House Number
  • Street Name

AddressBlock2 includes:

  • Locality
  • Town
  • Postal Code
  • County
  • State

For example, this input address:

AddressLine1: 34 Glenview Road
City: Mount Kurning-Gai StateProvince: NSW PostalCode: 2080

Results in this address block output:

AddressBlock1: 34 Glenview Road
AddressBlock2: Mount Kurning-Gai NSW 2080

In this example, the input address includes a PO Box (CAN, FRA, and GBR) and the "Prefer PO Box over street" option is selected:

AddressLine1: 1 Great Lawn PO Box 10916 CM5 5AL

Results in this address block output:

AddressBlock1: PO Box 10916
AddressBlock2: ONGAR CM5 5AL
AddressBlock3-10 String Additional AddressBlock fields for USA addresses. For USA addresses, starting from AddressBlock1 the data includes:
  • Firm Name
  • URB name
  • Extra address line information
  • Required address line information
  • Last line
AddressLine1 String The first address line.

For example, 34 GLENVIEW ROAD MOUNT KURNING-GAI NSW 2080.

In an example of a dual address, the address PO BOX 3220 STN C 181 QUEEN STREET OTTAWA ON K1Y1E4 contains both a PO Box and a street address.

If the option "Prefer PO Box over street" is enabled, PO BOX 3220 STN C displays in this field.

If the option "Prefer PO Box over street" is not enabled, 181 QUEEN STREET displays in this field.

Parsed Input

Spectrum Global Address Validation output can include the input address in parsed form. This type of output is referred to as "parsed input." Parsed input fields contain the address data that was used as input regardless of whether or not Spectrum Global Address Validation validated the address. This information is not available when the address is validated at the postal / city level. It is available when an address gets validated at the street level. To include parsed input fields in the output, select the Parsed address output option.

Table 2. Parsed Input
Field Name Format Description
DualAddressParsed.Input String A dual address is an address that contains more than one mailable address. For example, an address that contains both a PO Box and a street address is considered a dual address. When a dual address line is entered as input, this field contains the address line that is not used for AddressBlock1.

If a PO Box (CAN, FRA, and UK) and a street address are entered as input and the option "Prefer PO Box over street" is enabled, the PO Box number is returned in the AddressLine1 field and AddressBlock1 fields and the street address is returned in the DualAddressParsed.Input field.

If a PO Box (CAN, FRA, and UK) and a street address are entered as input and the option "Prefer PO Box over street" is not enabled, the street address is returned in the AddressLine1 field and AddressBlock1 fields and the PO Box is returned in the DualAddressParsed.Input field.
ParsedAddressLine1.Input String The first address line passed on input.

For some countries (CAN, FRA, and UK), when the "PO Box over street" option is activated, this field contains PO Box.
ParsedApartmentLabel.Input String The unit designator passed on input.
ParsedApartmentNumber.Input String The unit number passed on input.
ParsedCity.Input String The city/locality/suburb name passed on input.
ParsedCitySubdivision.Input String The urbanization name passed on input.

Precision

Spectrum Global Address Validation output can include the precision code that describes the precision of the address match for the input address. To include the precision code in the output, select the Precision output option.
Note: The "Precision code counts" section on the Match Analysis Report only displays when you check the "Precision" output option.
Table 3. Precision
Field Name Format Description
PrecisionCode String A code describing the precision of the address match.

The matches in the Z category indicate that a match was made at the postal code level.

Z1
Match to ZIP Code™ or postal code 1.
Z2
Match to ZIP + 2 or partial match to postal code 2.
Z3
Match to ZIP + 4® or postal code 2.

The matches in the G category indicate that the record was matched to an area name.

G1
Match to state/province (area name 1).
G2
Match to country/region (area name 2).
G3
Match to city/town (area name 3).
G4
Match to suburb/village (area name 4).

The matches in the B category indicate that the record was matched to a PO Box.

B1
Matched to an unvalidated PO Box. Although there is enough information in the record to identify this as a PO Box, not enough information exists to determine whether the PO Box number is valid.
B2
Matched to a validated PO Box.

The matches in the S category indicate that the record was matched to a single address candidate.

S0
Single match; however, no coordinates are available. This is a very rare occurrence. Parts of the address may have matched the source data.
S1
Single match to a ZIP Code™ or postal code 1 level. This is the same quality match as a Z1 result.
S2
Single match to a ZIP + 2 or partial match to postal code 2 level. This is the same quality match as a Z2 result.
S3
Single match to a ZIP + 4® or postal code 2 level. This is the same quality match as a Z3 result.
S4
Single match at the street level.
S5
Single match to the street address. Because only the street segment data is available, the interpolation is not as accurate as an S7 return. The S5 code is followed by letters and dashes indicating match precision.
S6
Single match to a point located at a ZIP centroid.
S7
Single match to a street address that was interpolated between houses.
S8
Single match to the street address or house number.
SC
Single match at the house-level that has been projected from the nearest segment.
SG
Single match with point at the center of a locality (areaName3) or Locality level geocode derived from topographic feature. An SG result code is associated with GNAF Reliability Level 5 (locality or neighborhood) or with Level 6 (unique region). (Australia addresses only.)
SL
Single match to a sublocality (block or sector) street level match. An SL result code also requires a match on other geographic input fields (city, district, or state). (India addresses only.)
SX
Single match to a point located at a street intersection.

For S (street matched) precision codes, eight additional characters describe how closely the address matches an address in the database. The characters appear in the order shown.

For example, the result code S5--N-SCZA represents a single match that matched the street name, street suffix direction, town, and postal code. 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 matched at the street address level of the match candidate.

H
House number match.
P
Street prefix (pre-directional). P is present if any of these conditions are satisfied:
  • The candidate pre-directional matches the input pre-directional.
  • The candidate post-directional matches the input pre-directional after pre- and post-directionals are swapped.
  • The input does not have a pre-directional.
N
Street name match.
T
Street/thoroughfare type match.
S
Street suffix (post-directional).
  • The candidate post-directional matches the input post-directional.
  • The candidate pre-directional matches the input post-directional after pre- and post-directionals are swapped.
  • The input does not have a post-directional.
C
City or town name.
Z
Postal code match.
A
Addressing dataset match.
U
Custom user dictionary match.

Australia — 'S' Precision Code Descriptions

The following table provides 'S' precision code descriptions for Australia.

Result Code Description
Street level geocoded candidates return a result code beginning with the letter S. The second character in the code indicates the positional accuracy of the resulting point for the geocoded record.
S8 Single match, point located at either the single point associated with an address point candidate or at an address point candidate that shares the same house number. No interpolation is required.
S8.......G The S8.......G result code is used for single matches with GNAF Reliability levels of 1or 2 (the highest level of GNAF Reliability.
S7 Single match, located at an interpolated point along the candidate’s street segment. When the potential candidate is not an address point candidate and there are no exact house number matches among other address point candidates, the S7 result is returned using address point interpolation.
S7.......G The S7.......G result code is used for single matches with GNAF Reliability level of 3.
S5 Single match, point located at a street address position.
S4 Single match, point located at the center of a shape point path (shape points define the shape of the street polyline).
S4.......G The S4.......G result code is used for single matches with a GNAF Reliability level of 4 (associated with a unique road feature).
S0 Single match, however, no coordinates are available (this is a very rare occurrence).
SX Single match with the point located at street intersection.
SC Single match where the original point has been moved a specified distance (usually along a perpendicular line) toward or away from the associated street segment. This result code can be returned only when both a point geocoding dataset and a street segment geocoding dataset are available and when the centerline offset feature is used.
SG Single match with point at the center of a locality (areaName3) or Locality level geocode derived from topographic feature. An SG result code is associated with GNAF Reliability Level 5 (locality or neighborhood) or with Level 6 (unique region).
