USLOTCode

Line of Travel sequence code and an indicator denoting USPS® LOT sequence. This field is in the format nnnnY where:

nnnn

The four-digit LOT code.

Y

One of the following:

• A—Ascending LOT sequence
• D—Descending LOT sequence

USLOTHex

A hexadecimal value that allows you to sort your file in ascending order only. The hexadecimal values range from 0 to FF ascending, then FF through 0 descending.

A two-byte value used for final sortation in place of the DPC add-on. It consists of an uppercase letter followed by a digit 0 through 9. Values range from A0 (99 descending) through J9 (00 descending), and K0 (00 ascending) through T9 (99 ascending).

USLACS

Indicates whether or not the address is a candidate for LACS^Link conversion (U.S. addresses only). One of the following:

Y

Yes, the address is a candidate for LACS^Link processing. If LACS^Link is enabled, ValidateAddress will attempt to convert the address using the LACS^Link database. If the conversion attempt is successful, the output address is the new address obtained from the LACS^Link database. If the attempt is not successful, the address will not be converted.

N

No, the address is not a candidate for LACS^Link processing. LACS^Link processing may still be attempted if LACS^Link processing is requested, the LACS^Link database is installed, and one of the following is true:

• The address matches to a Rural Route address and the RecordType.Default field returns a Y.
• The input address could not be matched to any address in the U.S. Postal Database (Failures due to multiple matches are not LACS^Link candidates.)

USLACS.ReturnCode

Indicates the success or failure of LACS^Link processing. (U.S. addresses only.)

A

LACS^Link processing successful. Record matched through LACS^Link processing.

00

LACS^Link processing failed. No matching record found during LACS^Link processing.

09

LACS^Link processing matched the input address to an older highrise default address. The address has been converted. Rather than provide an imprecise address, LACS^Link processing does not provide a new address.

14

LACS^Link processing failed. Match found during LACS^Link processing but conversion did not occur due to other USPS® regulations.

92

LACS^Link processing successful. Record matched through LACS^Link processing. Unit number dropped on input.

null

LACS^Link did not process the record, or LACS^Link processing was not attempted.

B

The address is a business address.

Indicates the results of Delivery Point Validation (DPV) processing.

Y

DPV confirmed. Mail can be delivered to the address.

N

Mail cannot be delivered to the address.

S

For example, in this address 424 is the building number and 12 is the unit number:

424 Washington Blvd. Apt. 12

The words in the FirmName field are all "noise" words. Noise words are defined by the USPS® and are ignored when attempting to mach the firm name.

For example "Company and Corporation" is all noise words.
