Code<\/td>\nDefinition<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
AA<\/td>\nRecord Matched to the ZIP+4 File
\nThis footnote is set any time that a record is matched. This is the equivalent of
\nhaving a return code of 31 or 32.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A1<\/td>\nRecord Not Matched to the ZIP+4 File
\nThis footnote is set every time that a record does not match to the ZIP4 file,
\nbut makes it through basic parse and last line validation. This is the equivalent
\nof having a return of 21 or 22.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A2<\/td>\nAlias Street Name Matched
\nThis footnote is set every time a match is made to an alias street name.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A3<\/td>\nAlternate Record Matched on the ZIP+4 File
\nThis footnote is set every time a match is made to an alternate ZIP4 record.
\nAn alternate record contains a different presentation a street name for a ‘base’
\nZIP4 record. The addon code is the same for the alternate and the base record.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A4<\/td>\n <\/p>\n

Match to Small Town Default
\nA small-town default match does not actually match to an existing ZIP4
\nrecord, but gives back a return code of ’31’ and an addon code of ‘9999’. This
\ncondition exists when the input ZIP code is flagged as a ‘Small Town’ and
\nonly accepts ‘GENERAL DELIVERY’ type addresses, but a street-style or PO
\nBOX address was presented on input. Since there are no actual street or PO
\nBOX deliveries, all addresses in this ZIP code will get a ‘default’ addon of
\n‘9999’.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

A5<\/td>\nMatch to Unique ZIP Default
\nA Unique ZIP code is a ZIP code set up by an institution (like a university) or
\na business that handles its own mail delivery. The USPS collects the mail at
\nthe post office, and the institution picks it up and distributes it internally.
\nEven though it is possible to have ZIP4 records for Unique ZIP code, most
\ninstitutions have addressing schemes that are not fully populated in the
\ndatabase. Therefore, when an input Unique ZIP code is found, and the input
\naddress is not found, a return code of ’31’ is given back, along with a ‘default’
\naddon of ‘0001’.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A6<\/td>\nMatch to a Highrise Default Alternate record
\nThis footnote is set when a Highrise Default Alternate style address match is
\nmade. This condition exists when an input address contains the secondary
\nnumber (an apartment, suite, etc.) along with a building name. No primary
\nnumber or street name is given. For example:
\n456 FEDERAL BUILDING
\nThe coder will take this address and turn it back into a street-style
\npresentation.
\n123 MAIN ST STE 456<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A7<\/td>\nAddress rejected due to EWS
\nSee the chapter titled ‘EWS System’ for information on how EWS works.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A8<\/td>\nPossible dual address detected
\nThis footnote is set when a ‘dual address’ may be present, such as:
\nRR 3 BOX 123 456 MAIN ST
\nSince there are 2 possible addresses available, the Coder will not choose
\nwhich one to parse and return. This address construct results in a 21 return
\ncode.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A9<\/td>\nDPV used to break ZIP4 multiple response
\nIn some cases when a multiple-response is found during ZIP4 address
\nprocessing, the DPV engine can be used to break the tie. During this process,
\nall the candidate records are queried against the DPV database. If one and
\nonly one record is found to have a positive DPV confirmation, then this
\nrecord will be chosen for the match, and a single response code is given back
\nfrom the address lookup process. This footnote is turned on under this
\ncondition.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
AC<\/td>\nZIP+4 Level county name is different than the ZIP Code level
\nNote: This footnote will only be returned if the ZIP4_COUNTY parameter is
\nspecified in either the configuration file or the AC_OPEN_T structure. See
\nthe ‘Configuration File’ chapter for details on when this footnote is set.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
AU<\/td>\nUnique ZIP default information returned.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BB<\/td>\nDPV match, all components. A DPV match was made using all the components
\nof the address (primary and secondary number).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
CC<\/td>\nDPV match primary number, not secondary number
\nA DPV match was made with the primary number only. A secondary number
\nwas present on the input address, but was not used for DPV.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
DD<\/td>\nCorrected City Name and\/or State Information
\nThe city or the state was changed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
D1<\/td>\nInput city name was non-mailing, corrected (AC)
\nThe input city name was a non-mailing name for the matched ZIP code. The
\noutput address contains the corrected city name.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
D2<\/td>\nZIP+4 State code different than ZIP Code default
\nThis footnote indicates that the state code on a matched ZIP4 record differs
\nfrom the state code assigned to the ZIP code of the output address. This can
\nhappen when a physical address exists in one state, but the mail is delivered
\nto that address from another state. In some geographical situations, it is better
\nfor a post office in one state to deliver mail to addresses that are in a
\nneighboring state. In these situations, the output address of the Coder will still
\nshow the state code of the delivering post office. The state code of the
\nphysical address will be shown in the matching ZIP4 record (the matched_rec
\nfield of the AC_OUTPUT_ADDR_T structure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
EE<\/td>\nCorrected Primary Address (E1 or E2 is on)
\nThe primary address line was corrected.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
E1<\/td>\nCorrected primary address component (AC)
\nA directional or suffix address component was added, deleted, or changed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
E2<\/td>\nCorrected primary street name (AC)
\nSet if the street name spelling was changed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
E3<\/td>\nPrimary address line standardized (AC)
\nSet if any portion of the primary address line was standardized.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
E4<\/td>\nA questionable address standardization was made. This can happen when an
\ninput address looks like 123 MAIN ST BOX 123 (a possible dual address),
\nand it gets standardized to 123 MAIN ST # 123.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
E5<\/td>\nThe first letter of the street name has been added or changed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
FF<\/td>\nCorrected Secondary Address Data
\nSet when the secondary number or unit designator was changed. Examples of
\nallowable secondary number changes are reversing alpha-numerics, and
\nadding or deleting dashes:
\nA5 => 5A
\nA5 => A-5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
F1<\/td>\nMilitary match
\nA match was made to a ZIP Code that has been determined to be a Military
\nZIP Code.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
G1<\/td>\nGeneral Delivery match
\nA match was made to a General Delivery ZIP+4 record.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
G4<\/td>\nOut of range alias match
\nA match was made to an alias street name, but the primary number did not
\nmatch the allowable range for the alias street name. This is a ‘no-match’
\ncondition and a return code of ’21’ is given back.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
II<\/td>\nFirm and address swapped (AC)
\nThe firm line and the address line were swapped to make the match.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I1<\/td>\nUrb moved from address line (AC)
\nA PR Urbanization was found in the address line and moved to the
\nUrbanization line.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
HH<\/td>\nZIP Code Changed
\nThe input ZIP code was changed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
H1<\/td>\nZIP code added (AC)
\nNo ZIP code was in the input address, and one was added.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
JJ<\/td>\nFailure to Match Last Line of Address
\nThe last line was not able to be matched. This is equivalent to the return code
\n’11’.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
KK<\/td>\nMultiple Match in Primary Address Field<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
K1<\/td>\nMultiple Match due to Missing\/Incorrect Directional(s)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
K2<\/td>\nMultiple Match due to Missing\/Incorrect Suffix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MA<\/td>\nZIP4 -Missing Street Number
\nA primary number is missing from the input address.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MB<\/td>\nZIP4 – Street Name Not Found
\nThe input street name could not be found in the ZIP+4 data file.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MC<\/td>\nZIP4 – No Such Primary Number
\nThis is set when the input street name was found in the ZIP+4 file, but the
\ninput primary number could not be found with the given street name.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MD<\/td>\nZIP4 – Firm Name Not Matched<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
M1<\/td>\nDPV -Missing Street Number
\nA primary number is missing from the input address.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
M3<\/td>\nDPV – No Such Primary Number
\nThis is set when DPV cannot validate the primary number, even though the
\naddress matched to a valid ZIP+4 range.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
NA<\/td>\nZIP4 -Missing Secondary Address Number
\nA match was made to a ZIP+4 Highrise record, but no secondary number was
\npresent on the input address.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
NB<\/td>\nZIP4 – Secondary Number not found
\nA match was made to a ZIP+4 record, but the input secondary number could
\nnot be found.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
NC<\/td>\nMultiple Match in Secondary Address Field
\nSet when a ‘multiple response’ condition occurs with highrise specific records,
\nand one cannot be picked. The Coder returns the highrise default or street
\nlevel record. For example:
\nInput address is ‘123 MAIN ST # 4’ and both APT 4 and STE 4 are present.
\nNOTE: This footnote used to be called L.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
N1<\/td>\nMissing Secondary Address Number for an Address located within a highrise
\nFor DPV, a match was made to a Highrise record, but the secondary number
\nwas not present on the input address.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
P1<\/td>\nMissing RR\/HC Box Number for rural-route style addresses,<\/p>\n

the BOX number was missing on input.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

P2<\/td>\nRR\/HC Box Number not found
\nCurrently not being set.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
P3<\/td>\nInvalid RR\/ HC\/ PO BOX number.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Q1<\/td>\nMissing PO Box Number<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Q2<\/td>\nPO Box Number not found<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
RR<\/td>\nDPV – CMRA match
\nThe CMRA flag was set in DPV.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
R1<\/td>\nDPV – CMRA, no secondary number<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
S1<\/td>\nSeasonal record information present
\nThis footnote indicates that seasonal information is present. The seasonal
\ninformation is in the ‘seasonal’ field of the AC_MATCH_INFO_T structure.
\nCertain addresses receive mail only during part of the year. The ‘seasonal’
\nfield contains a 12-character, NULL-terminated string indicating which
\nmonths have mail delivery for the given output address. The field is a string
\nof ‘Y’ and ‘N’ flags. Each of the 12 positions correspond to the 12 months of
\nthe year. A ‘Y’ value in a position indicates that the mail is delivered for that
\nmonth. For example, the string ‘NNNNYYYYNNNN’ shows that mail is only
\ndelivered in the months ofMay, June, July, and August.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
S2<\/td>\nSUITE Link information added to the address.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
S3<\/td>\nAddress matched to STOP Link.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
UA<\/td>\nNo PR Urbanization was given with the input address, but an Urbanization
\nwas found in the matched ZIP4 record. This Urbanization was returned on
\noutput.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
UB<\/td>\nThe input PR Urbanization was verified to be valid according to the ZIP4
\nrecord that was matched.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
UC<\/td>\nThe input PR Urbanization was not verified with the matched ZIP4 record,
\nbecause the matched record contained a blank Urbanization field. The input
\nUrbanization was retained in the output address.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
UD<\/td>\nThe input PR Urbanization was not verified with the matched ZIP4 record,
\nbecause the matched record contained a different Urbanization name. The
\nUrbanization from the matched ZIP4 record was returned with the output
\naddress.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
U1<\/td>\nUnique ZIP Code Match
\nA match was made to a ZIP Code that has been determined to be a Unique
\nZIP Code. See footnote A5 for more information on Unique ZIP Codes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
X1<\/td>\nIntelliZIP match
\nThis footnote indicates that a match was made using IntelliZIP logic. If a
\nmatch is not made through normal address matching procedures, and if the
\ninput address contains a 9-digit ZIP code, then a reverse 9-digit lookup is
\nperformed. If the ZIP+4 record corresponding to the input 9-digit ZIP code
\nclosely matches the input address, then a match will be returned and this
\nfootnote will be set.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Z0<\/td>\nZIPMOVE match
\nA match was made to a ZIP Move address. ZIP Move represents a collection
\nof addresses that have been affected by a ZIP code realignment (i.e. the
\nboundaries for a ZIP code were redrawn).When this happens, some street
\nsegments will move from one ZIP code to another. This can cause problems
\nwhen an input address contains the ‘old’ ZIP code, and the address matching
\nsoftware tries to change the address to keep it in the old ZIP code instead of
\nmoving to a new ZIP code. To help out, the USPS keeps a separate file of
\nthese situations that are used by address matching software. This footnote is
\nset when the input address contains the old ZIP code, and the Coder changed
\nit to the new ZIP code. An exact match must be made to the address in order
\nfor this to happen.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Z1<\/td>\nZIPMOVE no match due to component change
\nThe best match available was to a ZIP Move address, but the input address
\nwas changed to get there. This is not allowed, so a no-match condition is
\nmade with a return code of ’21’.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Z2<\/td>\nZIPMOVE no match due to invalid new ZIP+4
\nThis represents a data inconsistency with the USPS ZIP4 and ZIP Move files.
\nThe address was no-matched with a return code of ’21’<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
