To specify the format of your returned lines address, select three options from the following tables (one for each returned line and a special option).

Note: When you enter options, you must enter all three options or the results will be undesirable.

To specify a user-defined format for Returned Line 1 (ADDRPASS-OPTION1), select one of the options shown in the following table.

Table 1. Returned Line 1 Table
Code Returned Line 1 Description
1 First valid line from top
3 First firm line from top
5 First valid line above city line
7 Street address line above city line
8 PO box or RR/HC line above city line
9 Best street or box line from top; if not found, the first firm or rural route line from top. When Option 9 is specified for returned line 1, AddrScan performs selection from the top down as shown below:

1. First box line or complete address

 Example: PO BOX 12 or 123 Main St.


2. First street line with a range but no suffix

 Example: 123 Main


3. First street line with a suffix but no range

 Example: Main St.


4. First rural route line

 Example: RR 1 Box 12


5. First firm type

 Example: Precisely

To specify a user-defined format for Returned Line 2 (ADDRPASS-OPTION2), select one of the options shown in the following table.

Table 2. Returned Line 2 Table
Code Returned Line 2 Description
B Blank line
1 First valid line from top
2 Second valid line from top
3 First firm line from top
4 Second half of combined address line if first half is returned in line 1
5 First valid line above city line
6 Second valid line above city line
7 Street address line above city line
8 PO box or RR/HC line above city line
9 First valid line above city line. If that criteria is not met resulting in a blank second line, AddrScan returns the topmost unused line in returned line 2.
Note: If you make the same selection for Returned Line 1 and Returned Line 2, the second returned line will be blank.

To specify a special option (ADDRPASS-OPTION3), select one option in the following table.

Table 3. Special Options Table
Code Special Option Description
A All special options
N No special options
R Add a range of "0" to street lines without a range

Example: Main St becomes 0 Main St
S Separate combined address lines

Example

The first address below shows a combined address line. The second example shows the same address line using special option "S" (separate combined address lines).
