CreateStreetCDF()

Summary

Creates a compact format address matchable street file.

 

Syntax

CreateStreetCDF(string lyr_set_name, string db_name, array options)

 

Argument	Contents
lyr_set_name	The name of the layer or selection set to export
db_name	The name of the new geographic file

 

Option	Type	Contents
Label	String	Descriptive label for the new geographic file
Layer Name	String	The name of the new line layer
Node Name	String	The name of the new endpoint layer

 

Notes

• The layer exported must be a line layer, and must contain the following fields: Dir, Name, Class, Left ZIP, Right ZIP, Start Left, Start Right, End Left, End Right, Parity.

• The ZIP fields must be numeric.

• The Class field is assumed to be a string of the form "A##."

• The parity field is numeric and is set to 1 if the address ranges are continuous and only on one side of the street, with mixed odd and even addresses.

• When address matching using a Raima database, the Name field must be in upper case or matches will fail.

• Address-matching works better on the Caliper Streets file because the street names are standardized.

Example

// Create an address matchable CDF file of all streets within 10 miles of coord x

SetLayer("Caliper Streets")

SelectByCircle("Selection", "Several", Circle(x, 10.0))

CreateStreetCDF("Caliper Streets|Selection", "c:\\strtfile.cdf", {

     {"Label", "Small Street File"},

     {"Layer Name", "Local Streets"},

     {"Node Name", "Endpoints"}

     })

Error	An error occurred while creating the geographic file (e.g., out of disk space)
