What is a Multiple Match? - Code-1_Plus

A multiple match occurs when one part of an input address has the possibility of coding several different ways in CODE-1 Plus. Below are examples of the different types of multiple matches that can be Delivery Point Validated.

Examples of Multiple Matches in CODE-1 Plus

Position	Field Name	Description
1-6	Keyword	Required. DPVIN is the only acceptable entry.
8	Multiple Match Option - ZIP Code and PO Box or Rural Route/Highway Contract Address Type	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm if your input file contains multiple matches of the ZIP Code and the PO Box or Rural Route/Highway Contract: Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y.
10	Multiple Match Option - ZIP Code and Street Address Type	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm if your input file contains multiple matches of the ZIP Code and the street address type: Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y.
12	Multiple Match Option - Carrier Route	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm if your input file contains multiple matches of the Carrier Route inCODE-1 Plus: Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y.
14	Multiple Match Option - Directional	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm if your input file contains multiple matches of the directional: Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y.
16	Multiple Match Option - Suffix	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm if your input file contains multiple matches of the suffix: Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y.
18	Multiple Match Option - Suffix/Directional Correction	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm if your input file contains multiple matches of the suffix/directional correction: Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y.
20	Multiple Match Option - Multiple Input Secondary Components with No Designator	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm if your input file contains multiple matches of the secondary components with no designator: Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y. NOTE: If you select N, you will generate a non-CASS-certified configuration. No USPS Form 3553 is generated. Below is an example of secondary components with no designator: `John Jones12 Main St. #12 #5New York, NY 10012` #12 and #5 have no indication of being an apartment, PO Box, or other.
22	Unique ZIP/Small Town Default ZIP+4 Assignment Option	Optional. Indicate whether to attempt to DPV confirm when a unique ZIP Code or a small town default ZIP + 4 has been assigned during regular processing. Y — Yes, attempt to DPV confirm. N — No, do not attempt to DPV confirm. Blank — Default is Y.
24	DPV Secondary Address Validation	Optional. DPV automatically attempts to validate primary and secondary information on input addresses. Then, if no match is made, DPV will attempt to validate using the primary information only. Turning off this option will reduce the number of look-ups to DPV files and may increase processing. Select one of the following: Y — Perform DPV validation using secondary address information. N — No, do not perform DPV validation using secondary address information. Selecting this value will generate a non-CASS certified configuration. Blank — Default is Y. NOTE: If you select N, you will generate a non-CASS-certified configuration. No USPS Form 3553 is generated.
26	CMRA Lookup	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to determine if an input address is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA). Y — Yes, perform CMRA lookup. N — No, do not perform CMRA lookup. Blank — Default is Y.
28	PBSA Lookup	Optional. DPV processing uses the PBSA Table to identify P. O. Box™ Street Addresses (PBSA). PBSA addresses are street addresses that really represent a USPS P. O. Box. Specify a code to indicate whether CODE-1 Plus uses the PBSA Table to return the PBSA result in output. Y — Yes, perform PBSA lookup. N — No, do not perform PBSA lookup. Blank — Do not perform PBSA lookup. NOTE: If you specify "Y", you must define a location for the DPV PBSA Flag in positions 32-34 of the DPVOUT parameter (location on the output record for a 1-character code indicating whether this address was found in the PBSA table).
30	DNA indicator	A code indicating whether or not to perform a DNA lookup. Y — Perform DNA lookup. N — Do not perform DNA lookup. Blank — Do not perform DNA lookup.
32	Throw Back indicator	A code indicating whether or not to perform a Throw Back lookup. Y — Perform Throw Back lookup. N — Do not perform Throw Back lookup. Blank — Do not perform Throw Back lookup.
34	NSL indicator	A code indicating whether or not to perform a NSL lookup. Y — Perform NSL lookup. N — Do not perform NSL lookup. Blank — Do not perform NSL lookup.
36	NDD indicator	A code indicating whether or not to perform a NDD lookup. Y — Perform NDD lookup. N — Do not perform NDD lookup. Blank — Do not perform NDD lookup.
38	NSR indicator	A code indicating whether or not to perform a NSR lookup. Y — Perform NSR lookup. N — Do not perform NSR lookup. Blank — Do not perform NSR lookup.
40	DPV Drop indicator	A code indicating whether or not to perform a Drop lookup. Y — Perform Drop lookup. N — Do not perform Drop lookup. Blank — Do not perform Drop lookup.
52	RDI Indicator	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to perform RDI processing. Y — Attempt both DPV and RDI processing. N — Do not attempt DPV processing. Perform RDI processing only. If you specify "N" in position 52, you will generate a non-CASS certified configuration and CODE-1 Plus will not generate a USPS Form 3553. Blank — Do DPV processing only.
54	DPV File Option	Required. Specify a code to indicate the DPV file to match against. S — Process the DPV split file. F — Process the DPV flat file. H — Process the DPV full (hash) file. Blank — Process the DPV split file.
56	DPV Memory Module Size Indicator	Required. Specify a code to indicate the size of DPV module. P — Pico memory model (no files in memory). U — Micro memory model (no files in memory, only indexes). S — Small memory model (HSC and HSF in memory). M — Medium memory model (LCD also in memory). L — Large memory model (HSX also in memory). H — Huge memory model (all files in memory). Blank — DPV process will be using Medium memory model (default).
58	CMRA/PMB Conversion Indicator	Optional. Specify a code to indicate whether to convert secondary information to PMB when the primary address is a CMRA. Y — Yes, convert secondary information to PMB where appropriate. N — No, do not convert secondary information to PMB. Blank — Do not convert secondary information to PMB (default).
