For addresses outside the U S and Canada you may notice inconsistent results between the multiple matches returned by Validate Address and the results for that same address returned by Get Candidate Addresses If you experience inconsistent results it is likely because you set the performance tuning setting in Validate Address to a value other than 100 To obtain consistent results between Get Candidate Addresses and Validate Address set the performance tuning option to 100 Note By default Get Candidate Addresses does not match to individual house numbers Rather it uses house number ranges for each street After Get Candidate Addresses has determined the street name city name state province name and postal code it checks to make sure the input house number falls within one of the ranges of house numbers given for the matched street name The same type of logic applies to unit numbers If you want to determine that an individual house number is valid you should use the Validate Address Delivery Point Validation DPV processing option DPV processing is only available for U S addresses Spectrum Technology Platform 10 0 SP1 Addressing Guide 70 Stages Reference The Canadian coder contains a reverse lookup routine that takes as input a specific postal code and returns the street information stored in the database for that postal code To use this function enter nothing but a Canadian postal code in the PostalCode field See the
