Optional. Use AP OUT to identify the location on the output file to store the information that was dropped during the analysis process as well as the normalized address lines. Dropped address information is data that CODE-1 Plus ignored during the analysis and matching process. This parameter also defines how normalized address information is formatted to conform to USPS conventions.

Format of Extra Data in Output Record |
Optional. This field defines how two types of extra data display in the output record.
Enter one of the following codes:
Any information passed to the matcher that is not used in the matching process is identified as unmatched data. Unmatched data is concatenated and written into one field that:
|
10-12 |
Location for Additional Input Data |
Optional. Location on the output record for additional input data. (Any information that is defined on input address lines but is not sent to the matcher for processing is identified as additional input data.) No default. |
14-16 |
Length of Additional Input Data |
Optional. Length of the additional input data specified in positions 10-12 of this parameter.
|
18-20 |
Location for Extra Data from Matcher |
Optional. Location on the output record for extra data from the matcher. (Any information passed to the matcher that is not used in the matching process is identified as unmatched data.) No default. |
22-24 |
Length of Extra Data from Matcher |
Optional. Length of output extra data from the matcher (unmatched data) specified in positions 18-20.
|
26 |
Data Separator |
Optional. If you specified C in position 8 of this parameter, specify a character to separate the additional input data or the extra data from the matcher (unmatched data). Default is semicolon ";". |
30 |
Storage Conditions: Normalized Primary Address Line |
Optional. Specify a code to indicate the conditions under which the normalized primary address line should be stored:
|
32-34 |
Location for Normalized Primary Address Line |
Optional. Location on the output record for the normalized primary address line. No default. |
36-37 |
Length of Normalized Primary Address Line |
Optional. Length of the normalized primary address line. No default. |
39 |
Storage conditions: Normalized Secondary Address Line |
Optional. Specify a code to indicate the conditions under which the normalized secondary address line should be stored:
|
41-43 |
Location for Normalized Secondary Address Line |
Optional. Location on the output record for the normalized secondary address line. No default. |
45-46 |
Length of Normalized Secondary Address Line |
Optional. Length of the normalized secondary address line. No default |
48-50 |
Location for Dropped Primary "Care Of" Data |
Optional. Location on the output record for the "Care of" data dropped from the primary address line. Valid "Care of" data includes:
No default. NOTE: All "Care of" prefixes must be separated by a space from the content (such as C/O Mary, not C/OMary or "DORM: 123", not "DORM:123"). |
52-53 |
Length of Dropped Primary "Care Of" Data |
Optional. Length of the "care of" data dropped from the primary address line. No default. |
55-57 |
Location for Dropped Secondary "Care Of" Data |
Optional. Location on the output record for the "Care of" data dropped from the secondary address line. All "Care of" prefixes must be separated by a space from the content (such as C/O Mary, not C/OMary or "DORM: 123"). Valid "Care of" data includes:
No default. |

Length of Dropped Secondary "care Of" Data |
Optional. Length of the "care of" data dropped from the secondary address line. No default. |
