The Street Buffer is a list of streets. For both GB and US, it is returned as a 25,000 character attribute in the output schema, with up to 500 street names containing up to 50 characters each.
The Details Buffer contains premise details, such as house information, apartment information, and postal code. For GB, it is a 68,200 character attribute (GBDET_AREA_OUT) with up to 200 entries containing up to 341 characters each.
Guidelines
- The buffer is available only in real-time implementations.
- To obtain street details for GB projects, you must redefine the GB_DETAILS_BUFFER into multiple buffers, where the size of each buffer is a multiple of 341, and the lengths of the buffers add up to 68,200. Trillium Software recommends defining GB_DETAILS_BUFFER_1 through GB_DETAILS_BUFFER_4, each with a length of 17,050.
- GB details buffer can come back only when you have the following condition fulfilled: Match Level Code is 0,4,5 or exact postal code in addition to an exact street name. You should get the full street information (number, street name, type, etc) for that street.
The following layout shows the attributes that are included in the Details Buffer of the GB Postal Matcher. The buffer is available only in real-time implementations.
