Use the Delivery Point Validation screen to define the location and length of the Delivery Point Validation (DPV) information to store in your output file. DPV Footnote Codes are 2-character, USPS-defined codes that represent the changes that were made to the input address during the matching process. Up to 10 of these codes can be stored by CODE-1 Plus for each record. Even if your address is not presented for DPV processing, CODE-1 Plus will return the footnote codes that pertain to the match to the ZIP + 4 database.
