The NYSIIS modifier is used with the PARTIAL2 routine to match two (2) strings, using an algorithm based on a standard NYSIIS algorithm.

  1. If there are any numerics in the string, return a blank code.
  2. Blank out all non-alphabetic characters.
  3. If the string is all blanks, return a blank code.
  4. Capitalize all letters in the string.
  5. Translate the following first character(s) of the string:
    From characters To characters

    MAC

    MCC

    KN

    NN

    K

    C

    PH and PF

    FF

    WR and RH

    RR

    GG

  6. Translate the following last character(s) of the string:
    From characters To characters

    S or Z

    NP or ND

    N

    IX

    GHT

    TTT

    DG

    GG

    WR

    RR

  9. Add letter to code if not same as preceding letter of code; do this until a 10 character code is created or until the string has no more characters.
