The SPELLING routine performs general-purpose text comparisons, assuming input fields are left-justified and blank-filled. If the two (2) fields do not match exactly, the routine calculates two (2) field lengths by excluding trailing blanks.

This routine also compares a hyphenated versus a non-hyphenated string of data, when the two (2) data strings are of the same length.

Table 1. Scoring for SPELLING

Score

Description

100

For an exact match (excluding blank versus blank).

96

Returned when comparing hyphenated versus non-hyphenated string:

 

If the hyphen is not the first or last character in the string, and the second string matches either the substring preceding the hyphen, or the substring following the hyphen exactly.

1

Blank field versus non-blank field.

0

Blank field versus blank field.

Deduct from 100

- 1

For each non-matched doubled character.

- 1

For each character error and for each extra character if there are extra characters.

- 1

For each extra character if the last character was a mismatch.

- 2

For other character errors (transposition, insertion, mismatch, extra characters at the end of either field after taking insertions and doubled characters into consideration).

-10

If the number of character errors is more than or equal to 25% of the length of the shorter field.

-25

If the number of character errors is more than 50% of the length of the shorter field.

Finally, add

+ 1

If the length of either field is at least 9 characters.
