    E.g. Setting ListMode=4 did not result in a combined list.
  10. AU, CA, NZ, US, UK: Fixed an issue where a select using combined list mode could produce incorrect results. (Bug #1213)
    E.g. Crossmatch on Hagey Blvd,Waterloo, Ontario followed by a select of LISTITEM=0 used to return "ONTARIO".

    E.g. ADDR,AMBIGLIST(LISTFORMAT=C,LISTDELIMITER=E,LISTLINEDELIMITER=N) FROM XMATCH WHERE ADDR=" TELECOMMS & TRADE POLICY,300 SLATES 58,K1A 0C8,OTTAWA"

    E.g. Focus on LISTTYPE="11" with no previous search would crash a server that had just started.
  14. Fixed setting MAX before START causes an incorrect number of items in the ambiguity list. (Bug #1224)
    E.g. ADDR,AMBIGLIST(LISTFORMAT=C,MAX=2,START=2) FROM XMATCH WHERE ADDR=" STATION ROAD, WELLINGTON "
    This used to return only one item for the ambiguity list.
  15. Fixed LISTFORMAT only worked in upper case. (Bug #1226)
    E.g. ADDR,AMBIGLIST(ListFormat=Multiple) FROM XMATCH WHERE ADDR="GUTHEGA CLOSE,WOODCROFT,NSW"
    This used to fail to set the list format as it needed all settings in upper case. It is now case insensitive.

    E.g. XMATCH on "RTE SAINT-JEAN,988,G0S 2W0,ST-LAMBERT-DE-L?ëVIS (QC)" will give a RESCODE of 1 (hit) and a MATCHLVL of 0 (no hit).
  6. CA: MATCHLVL indicates matched to street when there is an ambiguity on street or below. (Bug #1059)

    E.g. XMATCH on "14TH FL,1 FIRST CANADIAN PL,M5X 1W3,TORONTO"
  10. Make Rural Route match to Street not premise for MATCHLVL. (Bug #1101)
    E.g. XMATCH on "RR # 2, K0A 1L0, CARP," gives a MATCHLVL value of 3 (Premise) for a match to Rural Route. We want MATCHLVL to give a value of 2 when this happens.
  11. US: Settings in mcdparam.ini were ignored. (Bug #1068)
    Setting MaxTowns will now work

    • 'MATCHED' - the text of the element is taken from the address database.

/font>

Matchcode International (boreas) Engine Version 6.3.7
  1. CA:Added support for a 'SOURCE' formatting option for address element output fields which can be either:
    • 'MATCHED' (default

is taken from the address database.
  • 'INPUT' - the text of the element is taken from the input address.
    Note: SOURCE=INPUT, or SRC=I, allows for the output of "vanity" elements from the input address that were not found on the address database. This is particularly useful for UNIT.
    E.g. if the input address is "1919 17 Ave SW Suite 40, CALGARY AB T2T 0E9", where Suite 40 does not appear on the Canada Post database, UNIT will return an empty string, but UNIT(SRC=I) will return "Suite 40".
  • CA: Extended the range of checking for "vanity" elements to cover the entire address. This fixes the problem where a specified unit not found on the database is handled correctly when the municipality is present and not handled correctly when the municipality is missing.
    E.g.
    With the input "1919 17 Ave SW Suite 40,CALGARY AB T2T 0E9" the unit "Suite 40" was handled correctly.
    With the input "1919 17 Ave SW Suite 40,AB T2T 0E9" the unit "Suite 40" was lost.
    Both cases are now handled correctly.
