User Guide
The LACS
Link
indicator column (char 1) shows whether the input address was converted. The
LACS
Link
Code column (char 2) includes information about the output. These two columns are read
as a pair.
The paired LACS
Link
output columns and their possible values are described in the following
table.
L
To protect the security of the LACS
Link®
data, the U.S. Postal Service
®
requires that Pitney
Bowes Software (PBBI) implement a stop processing sequence to shut off LACS
Link
if a
possible misuse of the LACS
Link
data is detected. If you incur a usage violation while
geocoding with LACS
Link
processing turned on, LACS
Link
is automatically shut off.

Description
Y
A
Indicates that the input address was a converted
address, and the converted address was returned as
output.
Y
09
Indicates that the input address was a converted
address, but that the address was too imprecise for the
LACS
Link
converted address to be returned. The rest of
the candidate information is returned as if LACS
Link
was not used.
S
92
Indicates that the input address failed initially, but that a
converted address was returned when secondary
address information, such as the unit, was dropped.
F
null
Indicates a false positive. When a false positive occurs,
LACS
Link
processing is disabled. No further LACS
Link
processing is allowed until it is re-enabled. No CASS
output information is returned (that is, ZIP + 4
®
, carrier
route, delivery point). The input address is returned as
if there was no match to the LACS
Link
database.
N
00
Indicates that no converted address was found for the
input address. The input address is processed
normally, but there is no converted output address.
N
14
Indicates that LACS
Link
processing proceeded as if a
converted address would be returned, but that an
output address could not be built.
