Optional. Use FIRMNM to define the location and length of firm names (company names) in the input record.
The standardized firm name is the firm name derived from an address match and is the firm name stored from the USPS ZIP+4 database file. Alternatively, it may be the input firm name in uppercase format when the standardized firm name could not be derived from a successful address match.
If you include the FIRMNM parameter in your job, when CODE-1 Plus processes a record, it compares the firm name in the input record with firm names that are associated with the matched address. Each firm name has a ZIP+4 Code associated with it. The ZIP+4 Codes associated with firm names are more specific than other ZIP+4 Codes. If a firm name match is found, CODE-1 Plus will assign that ZIP+4 Code to the record instead of the ZIP+4 Code that would be assigned based on the address alone.
