This table lists the Relationship Linker Comparison routines and their associated modifiers. You can add modifiers to certain routines to provide scoring criteria that is unique to specific data in the attributes compared.
Routine |
Modifier |
Description |
---|---|---|
ABSOLUTE | UC |
Compares two fields for an EXACT match only. Use the UC modifier to do Asian character field comparisons that determine the exact match. Note: The UC modifier becomes enabled when you select Asian encoding.
|
01 |
Compares two apartment numbers (assumes fields are right-justified). |
|
ARRAY1, n |
Compares elements of one field to elements of another field, where n is the number of bytes per segment to compare. |
|
ARRAY2, n |
Compares elements of one field to elements of another field, where n is the number of bytes per segment to compare. |
|
Compares two business names. |
||
(China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan) Character field comparison and score determination for Asian characters. The score is calculated based on the ratio of the number of the same characters in the both fields out of the total number of characters of those fields. Note: The CHARACTER routine becomes enabled when you select Asian encoding.
|
||
Compares two dates. If you are comparing Japanese dates, select the JP modifier; for Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese dates, select the UC modifier. The Asian-style dates are automatically converted to YYYYMMDD format. Note: The JP and UC modifiers become enabled when you select Asian
encoding.
|
||
[1][2][3][4][5] |
Compares two 9-byte numeric field values. |
|
DISTANCE |
KM MI NM [DIST90][DIST80] [DIST70][DIST60] [DIST50] |
Compares the distance between two points represented by latitude and longitude. |
Identifies a relationship between a '1' or a '0' to a blank value. |
||
Identifies a relationship between the female gender and anything else. |
||
Identifies the relationship between genders. |
||
Identifies a relationship between the male gender and anything else. |
||
Determines the relationship between text flagged as either "YES" or "NO". |
||
Compares two first names, assuming fields are left-justified and blank-filled. |
||
95 |
Compares two generation values. |
|
Compares two house numbers. |
||
Applies SUBSTRNG-like logic to two records, when the name form values are different. |
||
Compares two strings by measuring the difference using the LEVENSHTEIN distance algorithm. The Levenshtein distance is calculated as the minimum number of edits required to transform one string into the other, with the allowable edit operations being insertion, deletion, or substitution of a single character. Note: As of V15.8.2, the LEVENSHTEIN routine is not supported for the
MATCH function in the Expression Builder.
|
||
Matches two strings of data, using an algorithm based on a standard NYSIIS algorithm. |
||
Detects a single business record. |
||
Applies ABSOLUTE- like logic to compare fields for an exact match, but uses different scores for blanks. |
||
Applies ABSOLUTE- like logic to compare fields for an exact match, but uses different scores for blanks. |
||
Compares two postal code values. Use the UC modifier to compare postal code values for Japan. |
||
Compares two name prefix values (assumes the fields to be four characters in length). |
||
Prevents linking on fields named in the Field Comparison Routine Lists. |
||
RSOUNDEX1 | S7 | Matches two strings using a Soundex algorithm. The input strings are reversed before the algorithm is performed. |
RSOUNDEX2 | S7 | Matches two strings using an improved Soundex algorithm. The input strings are reversed before the algorithm is performed. |
Links two strings, using a derived form of a standard NYSIIS algorithm. |
||
Compares two Social Security values. |
||
S7 |
Matches two strings using a Soundex algorithm. |
|
S7 |
Matches two strings using an improved Soundex algorithm. |
|
Performs text comparisons, assuming input fields are left-justified and blank-filled.
Note: The JP, KR, and UC modifiers become enabled when you select Asian
encoding.
|
||
STATUS |
Compares blank fields. |
|
Compares street names. |
||
Identifies a string of characters that exists within another string of characters, excluding blank strings. Use the UC modifier to detect the presence of a string of characters within another string of characters and perform matching for Chinese, Japanese and Korean text. Note: The UC modifier becomes enabled when you select Asian encoding.
|
||
TOKENIZE |
Allows fields to be matched on a token by token basis |
|
LO |
Detects two consumer records. |
