Using the Name and Address Scanner - VeriMove - 4.0

The Name and Address Scanner allows VeriMove to read floating data in non-parsed input. This means that you do not need to parse address data before processing it with VeriMove. Use the Name and Address Scanner to read floating data input if both of these conditions are true:

• Any of the fields in your records are in a non-parsed format
• You are using internal CASS processing
  Note: Do not use the Name and Address Scanner with parsed input fields.

The Name and Address Scanner starts with the assumption that the city, state, and ZIP Code will always be located in the last line of an address block. The Name and Address Scanner starts reading an address block at the bottom. As it reads the lines above the city, state, and ZIP Code line, the Name and Address Scanner evaluates the line to determine the type of data the line contains.

To use the Name and Address Scanner, use the Name/Address Scan Line fields (Name/Address Scan Line 1, Name/Address Scan Line 2, etc.) in your input definition. For more information, see Defining Input Fields.

For example, if your input contained the following records you would not need to use the Name and Address Scanner because the address components are in the same locations.

In this example, you would use the Name and Address Scanner for fields 2 and 3. Since the name, city, state, and ZIP Code data is always in the same fields, you would not need to use the Name and Address Scanner for fields 4, 5, and 6.

In this example, you would use the Name and Address Scanner for all fields since name and address data varies in each field.
