The batch driver program includes the following features.
- Interfaces with the Finalist CASS-certified APIs. This eliminates the need for a custom-written application. You only need to decide how to process the returned address information.
- Interfaces with the AddrScan to handle a wide range of block-type input file data formats.
- On Windows and Unix/Linux, accepts as input straight ASCII text or ASCII text delimited by characters (for example, a tab or comma).
- Can dynamically update your original address file during processing.
- Can optionally create output files containing the addresses that coded successfully, the addresses that did not code successfully, or both. These output files provide you with information on the success or failure of the postal coding process on your addresses.
- Generates the USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report) and the Finalist Batch Report when you run in a CASS-certified mode.
- Processes an entire file or a range of records within a file. This can be especially helpful when you are performing testing on a very large data file.
