I.6 Technical References

For detailed information refer to the Geosupport System User Programming Guide. This section will discuss those elements where the information on the mainframe is different than when you are using Geosupport Desktop Edition.

I.6.1 Street Names

Refer to Chapter III in the Geosupport System User Programming Guide. There is no difference for Street Names between Geosupport on the mainframe and Geosupport Desktop Edition.

I.6.2 Street Codes

Refer to Chapter IV in the Geosupport System User Programming Guide. Ignore any discussion of “PB5SC”, which is a special form of the street codes used only on the mainframe.

I.6.3 Address Processing

Refer to Chapter V in the Geosupport System User Programming Guide. In Geosupport Desktop Edition, the House Number in Internal Format (HNI) is not used. In its place the House Number in Sort Format (HNS) is used. The HNI is a 6 byte field and may be used in mainframe applications. The HNS is an 11 byte field. When reading Chapter V in the Geosupport System User Programming Guide, substitute HNS whenever HNI is referenced.

I.6.4 Tax Lot and Building Processing

Refer to Chapter VI in the Geosupport System User Programming Guide for detailed information on this subject. However ignore Chapter VI.8, which discusses the Standard and Legacy version of Functions 1A and BL. The Legacy version is not available in Geosupport Desktop Edition.
