Understanding SuiteLink for secondary numbers - geostan_1 - 2024.01

The purpose of Suite^Link™  is to improve business addressing by adding known secondary (suite) numbers to allow delivery sequencing where it would otherwise not be possible. Suite^Link uses the input business name, street number location, and 9 digit ZIP+4 to return a unit descriptor (i.e. "STE") and unit number for that business.

As an example, when entering the following address with Suite^Link enabled in CASS mode:

UT Animal Research

910 Madison Ave

Memphis TN 38103

GeoStan returns the following:

UT Animal Research

910 Madison Ave STE 823

Memphis TN 38103

Or

UT Animal Research

910 Madison Ave #823

Memphis TN 38103

If you have licensed the Suite^Link processing option, you must install the Suite^Link data and set the Suite^Link initialization properties for GeoStan to process your address through Suite^Link. For more information on Suite^Link enums and functions, see the following sections:

• Enums for storing and retrieving data and Variables for storing and retrieving data for COBOL.

• GsInitWithProps properties.

Suite^Link is required for CASS certification.
