Set up the new Street Address Line - Secondary Overflow field in your Output definition. During processing, VeriMove writes the secondary street address line data to the Street Address Line - Secondary Overflow output field only if that information does not fit in the Street Address Line - Primary Output field and processing would result in that secondary information being truncated.

The output for the address in our example displays as shown below when:

  • The output standardized address line is 50 characters in length and is larger than the Street Address Line - Primary output field.
  • The Street Address Line - Primary output field is defined as 25 characters in length.
  • You have defined the new Street Address Line - Secondary Overflow field in your Output file definition.
  • Processing would result in the secondary information being truncated (the secondary information in the example address is part of the address data beyond the defined length of 25 characters for the output field that would normally be truncated during processing).

  1. The overflow data in the Street Address Line - Primary field is truncated.
  2. The entire standardized output address line is posted to the event log with a warning message on the truncation.
  3. VeriMove writes the secondary information, that previously would have been truncated because that secondary information was part of the data beyond the 25-character limit for the output field, to the Street Address Line - Secondary Overflow output field.

The output for the address in our example displays as shown below when:

  • The output standardized address line is 37 characters in length.
  • The Output Street Address Line - Primary field is defined as 40 characters in length.
  • You have defined the new Street Address Line - Secondary Overflow field in your Output file definition.
  • Processing the example address shown below would not result in the secondary information being truncated (the output standardized address line, including the secondary information, can be fully written to the 40-character length Output Street Address Line - Primary field).

  1. VeriMove writes the full output standardized address line to the Street Address Line - Primary output field.
  2. Although you defined the Street Address Line - Secondary Overflow field in your Output definition, that field was not needed because the output standardized address line was 37 characters in length and could be fully written to the 40-character Output Street Address Line - Primary field. When defined in the Output definition, VeriMove only writes to the Street Address Line - Secondary Overflow field if, and when, truncation of secondary address information would occur.
