Example Parameter Definition - Code-1_Plus

This guide includes detailed descriptions for each CODE-1 Plus parameter including:

Description of the purpose and use of each parameter
Description of all fields available for defining each parameter including:
Field positions
Field name
Description for each field

For example, the following description for the CR OUT parameter appears later in this guide. Following the CR OUT parameter example is an example for defining each field of the CR OUT parameter.

CR OUT

Optional. Use CR OUT to identify the location to store the carrier route data on the output record.

Note: iThe carrier route is stored in USPS standard format, as defined under positions 12-14 of this parameter.

Position	Field Name	Description
1-6	Keyword	Required. CR OUT is the only acceptable entry.
8-10	Carrier Route Return Code Location	Output record location for the 1-character carrier route return code. If defined, contains one of the following codes: A: Apartment number missing or not found in database, and an apartment-level match was required. B: Insufficient (or blank) address match information. C: The address probable correctness or overall probable correctness was too high. D: Information was dropped. H: House/box number not found on street. L: The standardized address was too long. M: Multiple matches of equal quality were found. N: The carrier route was not stored as specified by processing requirements. S: Street name not found in ZIP Code. U: Unavailable—auxiliary file processing. Z: ZIP Code not found in database. Blank: The match attempt was successful.
12-14	Carrier Route Code Location	Output record location for the 4-character carrier route code. Stored in one of the following formats: Bnnn: PO box address Cnnn: Street address Gnnn: General delivery address Hnnn: Highway contract route address Rnnn: Rural route address.
60	Information Dropped Storage Conditions	Code indicating whether the carrier route code should be stored in cases where information was dropped during the match process: X: Do not store the carrier route code. Blank: Store the carrier route code anyway.
62	Maximum Address Correctness	Maximum acceptable address probability of correctness to store the carrier route. Enter a number between 0 and 9, where 0 indicates the best case and 9 indicates the worst case. Default is 9.
64	Maximum Overall Correctness	Maximum acceptable overall probability of correctness to store the carrier route. Enter a number between 0 and 9, where 0 indicates the best case and 9 indicates the worst case. Default is 9.
68	Multiple Carrier Route Storage Conditions	Code indicating whether or not the standardized carrier route code should be stored if multiple matching carrier route codes were found: M: Store the returned carrier route code. Blank: Do not store the returned carrier route code. Instead, store the information indicated in position 72.
70	Multiple ZIP Code Storage Conditions	Code indicating whether the standardized carrier route code should be stored if multiple matching ZIP Codes were found: M: Store the returned carrier route code. Blank: Do not store the returned carrier route code. Instead, store the information indicated in position 72.
72	Disposition Indicator	Code indicating what to store when the standardized carrier route code was not stored because no match was found or due to storage conditions: B: Store blanks. I: Store carrier route code from the input record. X: Store nothing. Blank: Default is B.

Example Instructions for Defining CR OUT Parameter Fields

The following is an example of a parameter definition for defining carrier route code storage using the CR OUT parameter.

Positions 1-6 are reserved for specifying the name of the parameter to be defined. In this example, to define the CR OUT parameter, enter CR OUT in the Keyword field, positions 1-6.
