Syntax

CALL "GSSMM" USING GSID, MATCH-MODE, GSFUNSTAT.

Arguments

GSID   ID returned by GSINIT for the current instance of GeoStan. Input.

MATCH-MODE   Variable value indicating match mode type. The following table contains the valid variables. Input.

GS-MODE-EXACT

Requires an exact name match. Generates the fewest number of possibles to search.

GS-MODE-CLOSE

Default. Requires a very close name match. Generates a moderate number of possibles to search

GS-MODE-RELAX

Requires a close name match. Generates the largest number of possibles to search.

GS-MODE-CASS

Requires a close name match. Generates the largest number of possibles to search. This setting imposes additional rules to ensure compliance with the USPS regulations for CASS software. For example, this mode disables intersection matching, and matching to the street network file for standardization.

GSFUNSTAT   Contains the return value for the procedure. Output.

Return Values

Old match mode, or a -1 if the new match mode entered is invalid.

Prerequisites

GSINIT or GSCLEAR

Notes

GSSMM affects how GSDATSET performs. For this reason, call this procedure only immediately after GSINIT, or after a GSCLEAR. If you call this procedure after loading data with GSDATSET, the results are undefined.
