The City - State/Province - Postal Code (v27) match definition is a temporary definition provided to facilitate an upgrade of the City - State/Province - Postal Code definition. The City - State/Province - Postal Code match definition will be changing in the following way:

  • The City - State/Province - Postal Code definition accepts parsed input, but will not accept parsed input in a future release. City - State/Province - Postal Code (v27) does not accept parsed input, which will also be true of City - State/Province - Postal Code in the future. The removal of input tokens will require you to update any jobs using the Match Codes (Parsed) node for the City - State/Province - Postal Code definition, replacing the Match Codes (Parsed) node with the Match Codes node and providing input as a single field. Jobs using the Match Codes node will not require an update.

  • In a future release, the match code length will be changed. This change might require you to update any jobs using the City - State/Province - Postal Code definition so that the match code fields can handle the new length. The City - State/Province - Postal Code (v27) definition uses the match code length that will be used by City - State/Province - Postal Code in the future.

If you want to begin using the updated processing now rather than waiting for a later release, you can update your jobs to call the City - State/Province - Postal Code (v27) definition.
