Specifying the Output Files - VeriMove - 4.0

To specify where to put the output and additional properties of the output file(s), follow these steps.

1. In the VeriMove main window, double-click the job you want.
2. Click the General tab.
3. (Optional) Select the Copy Input Record to Output Record option to include a copy of the entire input record in the Output File(s).
4. To prevent forwarding address information from overwriting standardized input information in the output fields, select Do Not Overlay Standardized Address with Forwarding Address Data. (This is required for certification jobs; otherwise, this is optional.)
5. Select Use Unconfirmed Plus 4 to use unconfirmed ZIP + 4 Codes during processing to achieve an NCOA^Link match. Unconfirmed Plus 4 processing can be used during processing when a Plus 4 code is found on the USPS ZIP + 4 database but the address cannot be DPV confirmed. Per USPS regulations, for CASS certification purposes, CASS processing cannot present this as a valid ZIP + 4 because the address was not DPV confirmed. USPS regulations do allow NCOA^Link processing to use this unconfirmed ZIP + 4 during NCOA^Link processing to achieve an NCOA^Link match.
6. Click the Files/Reports tab.
7. To generate only one output file, complete the information in the File 1 group. To generate two output files, complete the information in both the File 1 and the File 2 groups.
   • In the Contents field, select the type of records for the output file.
     • Matched and unmatched — The output file contains all records from the input file regardless of whether or not a new address was found in NCOA^Link.
     • Matched only — The output file contains only those records from the input file that were matched to a new address in NCOA^Link, including ANK^Link matches (if using ANK^Link NCOA^Link data).

       If the Copy Input Record to Output Record option is selected on the General tab, and you specify only matched addresses should appear in the output file, only new addresses will appear in that file.

     • Unmatched only — The output file contains only those records from the input file that were not matched to a new address in NCOA^Link.
     • Matched only Non-ANK — The output file contains only those records that matched to a new address in NCOA^Link but did not return ANK^Link footnote code 77. This setting does not apply to Full Service Providers and/or remote jobs. If you are a Full Service Provider and/or are running a remote job and you select Matched only non-ANK, VeriMove generates an error. For more information on resolving job definition errors, see Error Tab Messages.
     • Matched ANK only — The output file contains only those records that matched to a new address in NCOA^Link and returned ANK^Link footnote code 77. This setting does not apply to Full Service Providers and/or remote jobs. If you are a Full Service Provider and/or are running a remote job and you select Matched only non-ANK, VeriMove generates an error. For more information on resolving job definition errors, see Error Tab Messages.
     • None (do not create). Do not create File 2. This option is available only for File 2 output.

   • Do one of the following:
     • If you are defining a job to run on Windows, in the File Path field, click Browse to specify the name of the output file and the directory in which the output file should be saved.
     • Select one of the following options if you are defining a job that will be executed on Unix or Linux.

Define the path to the output file using the GUI for your target platform.

Export the job from VeriMove (by selecting File > Export) and open the job definition file (the .def file) in a text editor and modify the tags <OutputFile1Path> and <OutputFile2Path> to specify the path to the output file(s).
     • If you are defining a job that will be executed on z/OS, modify the OUTPUT DD statement and SIDEOUT DD statement in the MU JCL. The OUTPUT DD statement corresponds to File 1 and the SIDEOUT DD statement corresponds to File 2.
     • If you are defining a job that will be executed on IBM i, use the IBM i screen NLCPF110 to specify the path for your output. For more information, see the VeriMove User's Guide for IBM i.

       If you leave the File Path field blank in the Windows GUI, the Errors tab displays with an error indicating that you must specify a path to your output. You can ignore this error. If you want to avoid receiving the job validation error, you can specify a fake path in the File Path field.

       To configure VeriMove so that only new address records appear in the output file, on the General tab, do not select Copy Input Record to Output Record. Select Matched only.

       You can use the Output Definition tab to overwrite the information that was copied from input to output.

8. Click OK.
